Feast of The Annunciation

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Peter's
Church Street Woolley Wakefield WF4 2JU, WF4 2JU, United Kingdom

The Annunciation is the event where the angel Gabriel visits Mary and tells her she will give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Mary is initially troubled but listens as Gabriel explains that this will happen through the Holy Spirit. With humility and faith, Mary accepts her role, saying, “Let it be with me according to your word.” This moment marks the beginning of Jesus’s life on earth and is celebrated as a sign of Mary’s obedience and God’s favour.
