March 25: The Feast of the Annunciation

For more than 15 centuries the feast of the Annunciation has been celebrated on March 25, exactly nine months before Christmas. The feast is thought to have originated in the 4th or 5th century, around the time of the Council of Ephesus (431), and was first acknowledged during the time of Pope Gelasius (492-496).
