GABRIEL'S
AMAZING NEWS
FOR MARY

L U K E
CHAPTER 1

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

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 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, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

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

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon 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. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.”

“I AM THE LORD’S SERVANT,” Mary answered. “MAY IT BE TO ME AS YOU HAVE SAID.” Then the angel left her.

GABRIEL’S
AMAZING NEWS
FOR MARY

[Red Badger]

All the women of the Middle Ages must have looked like Greta Thunberg.................🤷‍♂️

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[nralife]

Today we celebrate the conception of our Lord in Mary’s womb — the day that God became a human being, like us — in all things but sin. It’s also a celebration of the significance of Mary saying “yes” to God’s will. “May it be done unto me according to Your word.”

[Hebrews 11:6]

LOL

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou and Tippy too!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well stated. God worked in Mary’s life and heart so that when Gabriel finally proposed this most earth-shattering Project, so intrusive on her, she could wholeheartedly submit.

[etabeta]

All my favorite artist in presenting this wonderful event: Jean Hey, Jan van Eyck, Simon Bening, Albert Bouts, Hans Memling....
Different is the one in Petrus Christus at #66. The Annunciation is not in the usual chamber but at the front door of Mary’s home.
The angel by B. Tisi (#71) is exquisite and glorious.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The Annunciation is not in the usual chamber but at the front door of Mary’s home.

And in The Nativity Story, Gabriel confronted Mary in a field while she sat under a tree.

Tisi's angel has polychromatic wings and hair that, as Ezekiel described it a couple of days ago, is a "ginger Jewfro."

[etabeta]

Thanks, Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Beautiful, Alba.

Did you find that as a detail, or did you crop it yourself?

[etabeta]

I could make details for my art page but I didn’t do it today, I just found it to share from pinterest.

[SFmom]

My favorite is Henry Tanner’s Annuciation

[Hebrews 11:6]

In case you missed it, we made a fuss over it in our discussion on yesterday’s Part 1 (image #3).

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sometimes I wish I could add a detail, but I don’t know how. I suspect I’d need to subscribe to an image-hosting service, which is daunting to me. But then, I spent my first two decades on FR unable to post images, and now....

[etabeta]

Would it work if you sent the detail to yourself in an email and then transfer it on the page?

[SouthernClaire]

Good day, Dan.

Would you please add me to your ping list? I so enjoy your posts which are breathtakingly beautiful at times, and there’s always a little insight here or there to be gained just by viewing the same event through another’s eyes.

May God greatly bless you and yours.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Don’t see how. Any other possibilities?
