LUKE, Chapter 1

1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught….

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.

34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

PLEASE NOTE: As I have made clear previously, my policy and practice consistently has been to post everything I find. My reason is that there may be a specific work that God intends to use to touch your heart, so I have no business excluding it.

However, we have arrived at an event where such comprehensive posting is no longer possible: there literally are thousands of images about Gabriel's annunciation to Mary. Were I foolishly to post them all, it would take a couple of months—and you and I would become restive long before then.

So, on this occasion (as on several others still ahead, obviously), I "cherry-picked" a representative group, with varying styles, ages and origins—the ones that to me are simply the "best 100" at both telling the story and pleasing the eye. Indeed, if I omitted some of your favorites, please share them with all of us by adding them in the comments. (Let me know if you'd like my help in posting pictures.)

Number 3, by Tanner, may have been the inspiration for Franco Zeffirelli's interpretation in the series "Jesus of Nazareth".

Excellent continuation of your series. The Annunciation is of course, and extremely popular subject in western art, usually depicted in grandiose, sweeping interpretations. One of my favorite is that by Dante G. Rossetti, which takes a different approach and is one of intimacy and vulnerability, making Mary's willing acceptance all the more profound.

Interesting thought, Debbie, which has occurred to me previously, especially because I did such a poor job of it in the early days as I climbed the learning curve. I still have them all, excepting the first fourteen, in MSWord. So, we’ll wait and see what the Lord says.

Good morning!
I saw a painting several years ago of The Annunciation. It was part of an Italian art collection being shown at a university near here. I went to see the collection several times, it was so amazing.

There are several above, and more tomorrow and Friday, which seem to focus on Mary’s reactions as you assert. I find them to be my favorites, even as I highlighted the text quoting her willing acquiescence. She became our model in submitting to God’s will, and she is rightly honored as a result.

Obviously, it is not one of those above, but we have two more days’ worth still to come. I’d be happy to post it here if you can steer me to it. After your description of its powerful effect on you, I’m sure we’d all love to see it, too.

If you're going to quote Jesus, you're supposed to do it in red, as every red badger should know.

Can’t remember....It had only Mary and the Angel, beautiful warm colors. Italian artist, very old.

Will check back in after I get home from work.

I may have still saved the entire art collection on The Big Computer favorites list. Tiny iPhone has no link to it.
