Happy Feast of the Annunciation!

(Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci)

Paraphrasing from wikipedia: The Annunciation is the revelation to Mary, the mother of Jesus by the angel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God. This is celebrated with the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25th, which is 9 months before Christmas."

Luckily, I was alerted to this day by a friendly email (see image below) from my new friends, the Sisters of St. Birgitta (more on my special connection to them coming soon)! I was able to attend mass, and also see and participate in the devotions to Mary that followed.
