| | SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION OF OUR LORD — March 25 (545)’ |
| | This passage is also used in celebrating the Solemnity of Immaculate Conception, but since the Annunciation is considered a feast of the Lord rather than of Mary, we will concentrate on what this Gospel event says about Jesus. | | | The overshadowing of the Holy Spirit recalls both the Spirit of God (= the mighty wind) hovering over the waters to bring forth life in Genesis (1:1-2) and the cloud as the manifestation of God’s presence in Exodus (40:34-35). | | | King Ahaz, a descendant of David, found his throne threatened because of his infidelity to the Lord (see 2 Kgs 16), and capped this infidelity with unbelief in refusing to ask for a sign from God. |

| | However, whenever the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, the Assumption, or All Saints Day falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is dispensed, meaning that the day is still a “holy day” but a person is not required to attend Mass. | | | For example, in 1995 Christmas fell on Monday and was a holy day with the obligation to attend Mass; on the other hand, the Solemnity of Mary, mother of God (January 1, 1996) also fell on a Monday and was a holy day but without the obligation to attend Mass. | | | Here is another glitch: Two solemnities which honor our Blessed Mother Immaculate Conception (which is celebrated during Advent) and the Assumption — are transferred to the following Monday if they fall on a Sunday. |
