The Annunciation




I love this picture of the Annunciation, showing the archangel Gabriel kneeling before Mary, the queen of heaven and earth. Humility is reflected on her face and in her posturing but yet Gabriel is kneeling as befitting his acknowledgment of his queen. What beauty this image holds.

My heart overflows with gratitude..
