Annunciation tapestry

A tapestry from the Gobelin workshop in the Lateran Palace in Rome.

 

25 March is the Solemnity of the Annunciation, when Jesus Christ, the Word of God, took flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. Through her assent to the message which the angel Gabriel announced to her, Mary became the Mother of our Saviour and the gateway of our salvation.
