First Sunday of Advent

A beautiful original drawing by Laura Gurney: The First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation of Our Lord: The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, Gabriel said, Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.
