The Annunciation, the moment the angel Gabriel came to the Virgin Mary, is usually celebrated on March 25. This year, because March 25 fell on Good Friday, it was moved to the first Monday after the Easter Octave, today, April 4.
In honor of the day I offer a sampling of art related to the Blessed Virgin.
