Description: The Annunciation (lat. Annuntiatio - * announcement *) is an evangelical event and an important Christian holiday dedicated to it, the announcement by the archangel Gabriel to the Mother of God of the future birth of Jesus Christ in the flesh from her. The events of the Annunciation are described by the only evangelist - the Apostle Luke.In his Gospel he reports that in the sixth month after the conception of Saint John the Baptist by the righteous Elizabeth, the archangel Gabriel was sent by God to Nazareth to the Mother of God with the news of the coming birth from her of the Savior of the world:
"The Angel, coming in to Her, said: Rejoice, Blessed One! The Lord is with You; blessed are you between wives. She, seeing him, was embarrassed by his words and wondered what kind of greeting it would be. And the angel said to her: do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God; and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and you will give birth Son, and you will call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son The Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and will be reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end." - Luke> 1: 28-33
"Annunciation." * Sandro Botticelli 1489-1490 years. Uffizi Florence. According to a number of theologians, the words of the Archangel Gabriel - "* Rejoice, Blessed One *" - became the first "good" news for mankind.
This is the lyrical and festive plot, which we can see on this icon, has long been popular in religious painting. It is easily recognizable by it's poses, characters and attributes. Iconographic schemes began to take shape very early. The first images appeared already in the II century in the Roman catacombs. They were finally formed in the Middle Ages, finding the most completed embodiment in the works of the 15th century. Icon-painting canons developed from the early Christian ones and remain in the Byzantine and later in Russian icon painting, in principle, unchanged.
