Description
Matins: Annunciation to the Virgin. The Virgin Mary devoutly kneels with her prayer book open. The Angel Gabriel, who brings the good news, holds a scroll upon which is written the beginning of Luke 1:28 -- “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.” Between Mary and Gabriel stands a white lily, which is commonly pictured with Mary to symbolize her purity. God the Father appears in the upper-left corner, with rays of splendor emanating from his mouth. The Holy Spirit, represented by a dove, descends from God to Mary.
