Gabriel told Mary to name her son Jesus, meaning"YHWH is salvation".According to Luke 1:26, the Annunciation occurred"in the sixth month" of Elizabeth's pregnancy with John the Baptist.Many Christians observe this event with the Feast of the Annunciation on 25March, an approximation of the northern vernal equinox nine full months beforeChristmas, the ceremonial birthday of Jesus. The Annunciation is a key topic inChristian art in general, as well as in Marian art in the Catholic Church, having been especially prominent during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. A workof art depicting the Annunciation is sometimes itself called an Annunciation.Thanks for your kind support of our work!
