Annunciation Day

25

Mar

Annunciation Day is a Christian holiday celebrated on March 25th. On this day, many Christians remember the moment when an angel named Gabriel visited Mary to tell her she would have a very special baby, Jesus. This baby would be important to Christians because they believe he is the Son of God. The word "annunciation" means "announcement," which is when you tell someone something. People celebrate this day by going to church, praying, and thinking about the story of Mary and the angel. It's an important part of the Christian calendar, happening nine months before Christmas.
