Annunciation


The Archangel Gabriel makes the announcement to Virgin Mary that she must be ready to be the mother of Christ, whom she is supposed to name Jesus (Savior). For Catholics and Orthodox this fact is said to have occurred in the city of Nazareth.

O Arcanjo Gabriel anuncia à Virgem Maria que se prepare para ser mãe de Cristo a quem dará o nome de Jesus (Salvador). Para Católicos e Ortodoxos o facto terá ocorrido na cidade de Nazaré.
