In the Western liturgical calendar Sundays in Lent and Eastertide take precedence over other Festivals. Those Festivals are then transferred to the first available weekday. Thus, tomorrow will be kept as the Fifth Sunday in Lent and the Annunciation moved to Monday March 26.

Likewise, when the Annunciation falls during Holy Week it must be transferred out of that week.

There is a little discrepancy between many Lutheran calendars and the rest of Western Christendom when it comes to precedence of Easter Week, or "Bright Week" as it is sometimes called. Next year March 25 will be on the Tuesday of Easter Week. Roman Catholics and Episcopalians will transfer the Annunciation to the Monday of the Second Week of Easter; but many Lutheran calendars will keep it on March 25.

25 March The Annunciation of Our Lord Gold or White

Principal Feast

Collect

We beseech you, O Lord,
pour your grace into our hearts,
that as we have known the incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ
by the message of an angel,
so by his cross and passion
we may be brought to the glory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.


Post Communion

God most high,
whose handmaid bore the Word made flesh:
we thank you that in this sacrament of our redemption
you visit us with your Holy Spirit
and overshadow us by your power;
strengthen us to walk with Mary the joyful path of obedience
and so to bring forth the fruits of holiness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
