Annunciation - masterpieces of all the times
First we included more information into the video, which was shorten after. So here are few notes:
* "Pre-annunciation of Anna". Anna was s a mother of Blessed Mary. Its written in "Protevangelium of James" by James - the brother of Jesus and son of Joseph from first marriage.
"And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by, saying: Anna, Anna, the Lord has heard your prayer, and you shall conceive, and shall bring forth; and your seed shall be spoken of in all the world. And Anna said: As the Lord my God lives, if I beget either male or female, I will bring it as a gift to the Lord my God; and it shall minister to Him in holy things all the days of its life. 1 Samuel 1:11 And, behold, two angels came, saying to her: Behold, Joachim your husband is coming with his flocks. For an angel of the Lord went down to him, saying: Joachim, Joachim, the Lord God has heard your prayer. Go down hence; for, behold, your wife Anna shall conceive".
* "Ave Maria" includes 2 fragments from St Luke: its Annunciation and the following it Visitation - of Mary to Elizabeth, when Mary heard the Annunciation from Elizabeth. Hovewer there are more added to Ave Maria from other source.
* In Ortodox tradition title of Mary is Theotokos - God-Bearer - Θεοτόκος on Greek. One of the wonderful tales of M. Pavic decicated to first letter of Her name - Θ: its called "Under the sign of Virgo"- from his book "Iron curtain". Main hero - Radacha Chihorich -learn just that first letter and building few churches during the war with Turkey. The line what all that churches made have a Θ pattern. Highly advice to read!
