The care that went into these tombs can be seen not only in the exquisite carving: cadaver-Alice has paintings above her showing the annunciation and John the Baptist, visible only to her (and me, getting into some inelegant positions to peer up; these photos are reproductions)

Immensity, cloistered in thy dear womb.'

The Annunciation by John William Waterhouse

21 94

Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. This solemnity commemorates the moment that Gabriel, the archangel, announced to Mary that God had chosen her to be the mother of the Messiah. The Annunciation celebrates Mary's brave “Yes”. Where is God inviting you to say yes to Him?
