We celebrate the Feast of Annunciation on March 25th- the day on which angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was going to be the mother of the world's redeemer. This is exactly nine months before Christ's birth on December 25th. Church calendar makes it sense, infact when on mary's third month , Elizabeth was indeed on her sixth month of pregnancy, have a look after three months which falls in June, turn the calendar to see what happens then.

In some parts of the world celebrate it as Lady day. The Lady refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The incarnation changes everything. In the middle year, civil year began these time.
