Solemnity
Annunciation of the Lord
Nine months before Christmas, the Church remembers the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary at Nazareth and her free yes — 'let it be done to me according to your word' — by which the eternal Word took flesh.
Lord, in Mary's yes, you took our flesh. Help us say yes today.
A solemnity is the highest rank of celebration in the calendar.
About Holy Week
Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and carries the Church through the Passion. Its last three days — Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday — form the Paschal Triduum, the single unbroken liturgy at the centre of the year.
Why white?
White is worn at Christmas and Easter, and on feasts of the Lord, Mary, and saints who were not martyred. It is the color of joy and of light.
