MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL !!


The Angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a young girl betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the girl's name was Mary. And when the Angel had come to Her he said: 'Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women.'

When She had seen him She was troubled at his word, and kept pondering what manÂ-ner of greeting thismight be.

And the angel said to Her: 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for thou has* found grace with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a Son; and thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and He shall be King over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.'
