● 圣母领报 THE ANNUNCIATION 报喜节 of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary 诞神女福音节
Εὐαγγελισμὸς τῆς Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου
Εὐάγγελος, Εὐαγγελία
By her holy intercessions, O God, have mercy on us and save us, for Thou art good and lovest mankind. Amen.
聖母領報（在古老教曆又称为聖子降孕瞻禮、救贖之始節、基督成胎節）在基督教，指天使加百列（嘉俾額爾天使）向聖母瑪利亞告知她将受聖神降孕而誕下聖子耶穌。聖經記載這一事件發生于聖母瑪利亞的親戚依撒伯爾懷孕六個月之際。聖誕節以及其他節日，也以聖母領報節為根據，3月25日為聖子降孕節，如此推算九個月之後就是聖誕節。聖母領報節的起源可以追溯至431年正式宣布瑪利亞為天主之母的厄弗所大公會議時代。在基督教藝術與描繪聖母瑪利亞的藝術作品，這是非常重要的主題，特別是在中世紀與文藝復興時期。
童女玛利亚耶路撒冷的神殿里生活和服侍了11年的时间，但当她满14岁开始进入15岁时，神殿的祭司告诉她：根据律法，她不能再留在神殿中，应该嫁人了。玛利亚的回答把他们吓了一跳，她说，她将终生事奉上帝，她希望保持童贞，直到死亡为止，她不想嫁人。之后，根据上帝的天意，先驱者施浸约安的父亲－高级祭司匝哈利亚与其他司祭达成共识：从大卫的支派中找出12个单身男人，让她同其中的一位定亲，但却要保持她的童贞，并照顾她。结果，玛利亚同远房的亲戚拿撒勒人约熙福定了亲。她在约熙福家中所作的同她以前在神殿中所作的一样：读《圣经》、祷告、思考上帝、斋戒，同时也作一些手工活儿。她很少外出，对世间的事情也不感兴趣。她很少同别人说话，如果同谁说话，也是不得已而作。经常同她说话的人就是约熙福的两个女儿。时候到了，正如先知达尼伊尔所说的，上帝当初对被驱逐的亚当和夏娃的承诺要兑现了。天使长伽弗里伊尔在她的房子中显现，正如某些司祭所写的，当时，玛利亚正在翻看《伊撒依亚书／赛／依》思考着这伟大的预言：“必有童女怀孕生子！”（伊撒依亚书／赛／依7：13）。天使长伽弗里伊尔在荣光中显现，向她报喜说：“蒙大恩的女子，我问你安，主和你同在了！”（路喀福音1：28），其余的事情，在《路喀福音》中都有记载。随着天使长的报信，以及圣灵降在童女身上，由此，上帝对人的拯救就开始了。《新约圣经》也随着天使长伽弗里伊尔的报信而打开了第一页，“蒙大恩的女子”，这表明了《新约圣经》向所有的被造物发出的喜讯。因此，报喜节这一天不仅仅是一个大的节日，同时也是一个喜庆的节日。
The annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary by Gabriel the Archangel that she was to be the Mother of God (Luke 1), the Word being made flesh through the power of the Holy Spirit. The feast probably originated about the time of the Council of Ephesus, c.431, and is first mentioned in the Sacramentary of Pope Gelasius (died 496). The Annunciation is represented in art by many masters, among them Fra Angelico, Hubert Van Eyck, Jan Van Eyck, Ghirlandajo, Holbein the Elder, Lippi, Pinturicchio, and Del Sarto.
MARTYR VICTORIA
Μεγάλη Τεσσαρακοστή • GREAT 40 DAYS • Μεγάλη Νηστεία • GREAT FAST
4th Sunday of the Great Lent. DAY 28 - Venerable John Listvychnyk // MOVABLE HOLIDAY ON THE 4TH SUNDAY OF THE GREAT LENT //
The Fourth Sunday of Lent is dedicated to Saint John of the Ladder (Climacus), the author of the work, The Ladder of Divine Ascent. The abbot of Saint Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai (6th century) stands as a witness to the violent effort needed for entrance into God's Kingdom (Mt.10: 12). The spiritual struggle of the Christian life is a real one, "not against flesh and blood, but against ... the rulers of the present darkness ... the hosts of wickedness in heavenly places ..." (Eph 6:12). Saint John encourages the faithful in their efforts for, according to the Lord, only "he who endures to the end will be saved" (Mt.24:13).

• DISMAS the Good Thief, crucified next to Christ (1st c.)
Luke 23:39-43: Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us." The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, "Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation. And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." He replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
One of the thieves crucified with Jesus, the other being traditionally known as Gestas; Dismas is the Good Thief, the one who rebuked the other, and asked for Christ's blessing. An old legend from an Arabic infancy gospel says that when the Holy Family were running to Egypt, they were set upon by a band of thieves, including Dismas and Gestas. One of the highwaymen realized there was something different, something special about them, and ordered his fellow bandits to leave them alone; this thief was the young Dismas.

Synaxarion for THE ANNUNCIATION of the THEOTOKOS
On the twenty-fifth day of this month we celebrate the Annunciation of our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary.
The Angel said, "Rejoice", to Mary on the twenty-fifth.
God, Who is merciful and loves mankind, is ever solicitous about the race of men. When, as a loving Father, He saw the work of His hands enslaved to the Devil and under his tyranny, subject to the passions and to idolatry, He resolved to send His Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver mankind from the clutches of the Devil. Since He wanted to escape the notice not only of Satan, but also of the Heavenly Powers themselves, He entrusted the Mystery to one of the Archangels, the glorious Gabriel, and in His OEconomy He brought it about that the Holy Virgin was purified by the Holy Spirit, for she was worthy of such a favor. When the Angel came to the city of Nazareth, he said to her: "Rejoice, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee." She asked: "How shall this be?" He replied: "The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee." And she said: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." At the same time as she and the Archangel spoke, she conceived preternaturally in her immaculate womb the Son and Word of God, His enhypostatic Wisdom and Power, by the overshadowing of God and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, the Mysteries of God the Word were accomplished by His OEconomy, for our salvation and redemption.
By her holy intercessions, O God, have mercy on us and save us, for Thou art good and lovest mankind. Amen.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
