In Christianity the Annunciation is the announcement by the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Detailed in the Gospel According to Luke, Mary’s willing consent set in motion the Incarnation and is thus a key moment in the Christian narrative of salvation.
