Annunciation

'Annunciation' by Emvin Cremona at Balzan church.
Thousands of dialogues were written and used in movies and plays. But none can surpass this dialogue which changed the course of history.
Angel Gabriel: “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you. Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, - and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom, there will be no end.”
Mary: “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”
Angel Gabriel: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived - a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”

And from Mary’s historic YES came the dawn of a new life.
