Annunciation Friday, March 25, 2022 Make a donation: thank you! search The Annunciation & Christmas The Annunciation is the announcement to Mary by the angel Gabriel who reveals to her that she is pregnant. According to the Bible, Jesus was not born of a carnal union: it was the Holy Spirit who conceived Jesus. The Church chose to celebrate the event nine months before Christmas. Christmas is set on the winter solstice, December 25th. The Annunciation to Mary (which corresponds to the conception of Jesus) is celebrated on the day of the spring equinox, March 25. According to the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel had, six months earlier, announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zechariah, whose wife, Elizabeth, was barren. John's birth was then set six months before Christmas, on the summer solstice, June 24. At the time of the adoption of the Julian calendar (named after Julius Caesar), the vernal equinox was on March 25. When the Gregorian calendar was adopted, 10 days were removed so that the equinox would fall on March 21: 14 days should have been removed so that it would be in phase with the Julian calendar (the date of the equinox was taken as a reference at the time of the first councils establishing the date of Easter).
Scam alert... I hope none of you have been fooled into buying funky coins on the stellar network? Stellar (XLM) is ISO compliant but a lot of other coins on the network are garbage pump and dump. Anyone pushing StellartreasuryDepartment.com (It's simply a domain name with not even a web page) as something official is a scammer... Run!
