Ave Maria et Sancta Dies Lunae

ANGELICO, Fra. Annunciation (Cell 3).
1442. Fresco. Convento di San Marco, Florence

Why the Annunciation, you ask? Isn't it Holy Week? Aren't we building up to Easter? It is true, yes, the season of Lent is giving way to the season of Easter. But this year, interestingly enough, Holy Monday, March 25th also happens to be the Feast of the Annunciation.What does this mean? Two things: (1) that life begins at conception, and without Mary's "ecce ancilla Domini fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum," we'd still be sacrificing inadequate bulls and goats, we'd still be in our sins, we'd still live in darkness, et cetera res; (2) that if we consult the astronomical record, we find it proven that Christ was born to die, for, as Shakespeare says, "the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes." The stars in their arrangements tell a story, and it is the fulfillment of millennia of prophecy. This week is the beginning of that story.
