The traditional date of the Solemnity of the Annunciation is March 25th, today as I post this stunning story.
However since we have begun Holy Week, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, meaning the virgin conception of our Lord in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit, is postponed until April 8 of 2024.
Since our Lord’s Virgin Conception is late this year, according to natural law, the gestation of a child in the womb takes 9 months. When it happens on March 25th, nine months later would be December 25th of the same year.
But this year, since the Virgin Conception of our Lord is late, April 8th, nine months later would be January 8th of 2025! Yes, you read that correctly. There will be no Christmas this year of 2024. I am sure children are devastated.
But there is a silver lining in this dark cloud for children. In the year of our Lord of 2025, there will be two Christmas Days, January 8, 2025 and December 25, 2025! God is good!
