Mary launched path to salvation

When Mary said “yes” to carrying the Christ child in her womb, as seen in Luca Giordano’s The Annunciation, mankind was on the way to salvation.

Lady Day — the Catholic feast, not 1940s jazz diva Billie Holiday — doesn’t get much attention. It almost always falls too close to Easter and with the many Marian feasts crowding the Catholic calendar, it’s hard to make time for the Feast of the Annunciation. This year it has been moved from its usual March 25 to April 4 so it does not conflict with Good Friday.
