“In the Annunciation, the birth of the Son of God in the flesh is made to hinge on the consent of a woman, as the fall of man in the garden of paradise hinged on the consent of a man. God in His power might have assumed a human nature by force, as the hand of a man lays hold of a rose. But He willed not to invade His great gift of freedom without a creature’s free response.” -Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Fifteen Mysteries) The original icons reside on the Royal Doors inside Holy Protection of the Mother of God Byzantine Catholic Church in Denver, Colorado. *Please note that your order is fulfilled by Printful on museum-quality matte paper.
