Happy Feast of The Annunciation! “He created His mother yesterday & today He is born of her. He is the only one before Adam and after Mary. The gates of Hades burst before Him how did Mary’s womb contain Him?! The stone was rolled away from the tomb by His power how did the Virgin Mary’s arms embrace Him?!” St. Sapherous of Antioch #coptic #orthodox #holyspirit #grace #stmary #annunciation #angelgabriel #lent #fasting
