The Annunciation, or the Annunciation of the Theotokos, refers to the event in which Archangel Gabriel visited the Virgin Mary with the message that she was to become the mother of Christ. The Annunciation is found in the Gospel of Luke (New Testament), which reads that the Archangel Gabriel told the Virgin Mary, “You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

Icons of The Annunciation depict Archangel Gabriel delivering God’s message to Mary. His right hand is raised toward Mary to convey that he is blessing her with the holy message that she will give birth to the Son of God. The feast day of The Annunciation is celebrated on March 25th.
