The Word was made flesh - here

At the grotto in Nazareth where the Archangel Gabriel asked Mary if she would be the Mother of God, the words are inscribed, "Verbum Caro Hic Factum Est" - Here, the Word was made flesh.  I spent several hours at the sight of the Annunciation praying and contemplating this mystery.  Here are some photos of the Basilica of the Annunciation (as seen from my hotel room), and beautiful artworks of the Annunciation, St. Joseph, the Holy Family, the Betrothal of Mary & Joseph, and Mary appearing to St. James the Apostle in Spain (a mural donated by the Church in Spain) - a link to my El Camino experience.
