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.

[Hebrews 11:6]

GABRIEL’S
AMAZING NEWS
FOR MARY

[Red Badger]

“In the sixth month,...”

Elul (Hebrew: אֱלוּל, Standard ʾElūl, Tiberian ʾĔlūl) is the twelfth month of the Jewish civil year and the sixth month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar. It is a month of 29 days. Elul usually occurs in August–September on the Gregorian calendar.

The shofar is blown every morning from the first day of Elul until Rosh Hashanah (except on Shabbat).

---

Which would mean that Jesus was born sometime is June -July....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Appreciate your research, although your math needs work. Nine months after August/September yields May/June.

Good Morning, Dan.

Tanner and Tissot, tied for 1stt Place.

[etabeta]

So many beautiful paintings. #95, a Gabriel without wings; #99 a dramatic Tissot; #105, again the favorite Tanner; the detailed beauty as painted by Waterhouse; the bronze at #110 and finally #112 by Bloch. I love it also for showing the sweet youth of Mary.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The baseball playoffs start next week, so we’ll have Tanner and Tissot paint best-two-out-of-three.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Alba. Lovely list.

[SouthernClaire]

Thanks for the eye feast, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

You got your ping, then. Day off tomorrow, so don’t be alarmed at no ping.

Glad you found a gawker’s paradise, Claire. Now, we’re off to take a gander at ol’ Cousin Lizzie’s big belly....

[InkStone]

Hello Dan, and happy day to all.

Great choices, with many favorites; 84 and 85 by Alonzo are very nice.

I’m surprised how often Mary is depicted reading.

Thank you most kindly Dan !!

[SisterK]

I love this collection.
But I have to ask...
In #89, what’s up with the little brown gremlin sitting on the table to the left?

[Hebrews 11:6]

I really winder how much reading material was available then. Apparently enough for Jesus to amass an impressive store of memorized Scripture. Undoubtedly, Mary promoted that.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good question. If I bump into Venusti, I’ll be sure to inquire.

[Allegra]

Many beautiful pictures here. I really like 105 and 103. There’s even a kitteh curled up on the floor in 103.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Don’t you start with feline felonies, too. As much as possible, I like to ignore them.

[Allegra]

LOL - but I’m an ailurophile. 😻

Maybe Mary was too.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I won’t hold it against you as long as you’ll spare me.

[spankalib]

I think that represents Moses - who was often depicted with horns.

Holding one tablet of law in each hand.

Perhaps as a symbol of the old testament, and Mary's position in the new.

[SisterK]

I think that represents Moses

that is an interesting theory

indeed, Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament
