Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

In the icon of the Annunciation, the appearance of the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary is depicted, whose visible astonishment is shown in conjunction with the deepest humility before the omnipotence of God. The appearances of angels, divine messengers, have been known for thousands of years and have not only produced admiration but also awe in their majesty.
It is with the Annunciation that the story of the Savior's earthly incarnation begins, so it is special for Christians!
