My calendar also says Monday. I just checked the USCCB website and according to the readings of each day, it is Monday. Good thing, since I still thought it would be celebrated on Sunday and only looked at the calendar this morning!
God Bless!

Michele - no need to apologize!!! I had in my head March 25th and only today realized it was also Sunday.  I do recall this coming up here before and I failed to note it on my calendar. Happy Feast of the Annuncitaion to all...on Monday!

Wrong again!!
Quote:
In 2008, if the feast of St. Joseph were to be celebrated as usual on March 19, it would fall on the Wednesday of Holy Week and if the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord were to be celebrated March 25, it would fall on the Tuesday during the octave of Easter.
While the two feasts are among the 14 solemnities marked with special care in the Catholic Church, they do not take precedence over the commemoration of Christ's suffering, death and resurrection.
Therefore, the congregation said, in 2008 the feast of St. Joseph will be celebrated March 15, the day before Palm Sunday, and the feast of the Annunciation will be celebrated March 31, the Monday after the second Sunday of Easter, which also is Divine Mercy Sunday.

All this juggling... thanks for the info.
The early date for Easter next year is going to be so weird. FYI, this (2008) will be the earliest that Easter has been in our lifetime. The last time it was on March 23 it was 1913. The next earliest this century was March 24 in 1940. My birthday has only been after Easter a couple times in my life and never this much after and nor do I remember the Feast of St. Joseph ever happening afterward. It will feel very strange!

It's the end of the day on the 25th and yet with the liturgical day of the Annunciation being tomorrow as well, we will continue to celebrate this feast.
Tonight I thought I would read a story about Our Lady (apparition or shrine) from Joan Carroll Cruz's Miraculous Images of Our Lady and I picked one of my favourites (or should I say, one of the children's favourites...) on page 104 "Our Lady of the Willow Tree."
When I was about to start reading, I thought, "I wonder if there will happen to be a reference to the feast of the Annunciation in it?" (You know, those slight goosebump moments....)
Sure enough there was, the first miraculous event took place on the feast of the Annunciation, the apparition took place a few years later on the same day. The whole reason for the miraculous events was to show the importance of honoring this feast. The children loved the story, as usual and if anyone has this lovely book it is worth a read!

I was just given this book not too long ago. Thanks for pointing out this story!
We will also be reading Angel in the Waters.

I really want to do another post with all my Sunday readings resources, but for now I want to let you know about these Fine Art links for the feast of the Annunciation.
To see other feasts/themes scroll up and click on Art Index.

So, is tomorrow a holy day of obligation in the US? We will be celebrating the Feast but I didn't know about mass attendance. Our priest didn't mention anything about it today at mass.
Thanks
Jennifer

I asked my priest the same question today. Tomorrow is a Solemnity, not a Holy day of obligation

Thanks, Gwen. Happy feast day, everyone!
Today our pastor said that during medieval/renaissance times there were many feuding families (you know, like Capulet and Montague feud). When an alliance or peace was made, they would commission a painting of the Annunciation, with the Archangel Gabriel wearing the colors of one family and Our Lady wearing the colors of the other family.
I never heard of this, and I found this so interesting, but I'd love to read more or confirm it in writing. Can anyone help?

Bumping for Monday's Feast. This year we have an extra day to prepare due to the movement form the 25th to 26th.
Other than the obvious like Mass, what are your plans? We have been invited to a dinner feast by our seminarian friends of the community Servants of Christ Jesus. Their house is turning into the place we party on feast days.  I'm bringing a side dish so need to figure out what would be fitting - so I'm reviewing the old threads and Catholic Cuisine for ideas of something Marian. I'm thinking something lily themed would be nice as well.

I am getting the angel out from the Christmas box (from the top of the tree) and putting it on the mantle with a larger nativity statue I have of Mary.
I still have to figure out the food and print out some Marian coloring pages for the kids Liturgical Year folders.
Something simple, but fun!
