I like this version of the Annunciation, or announcement, to Mary by Gabriel. The painting hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and they explain, "Tanner created an unconventional image of the moment when the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the Son of God. Mary is shown as an adolescent dressed in rumpled Middle Eastern peasant clothing, without a halo or other holy attributes. Gabriel appears only as a shaft of light."

What can we learn from that amazing and pivotal moment in history from Mary's reaction to the GOOD NEWS? Tune in as I read the scripture from Luke.
