The Incarnation and the Cross
Understanding Christ's Redemptive Act
This event has completed
It is no coincidence that the Great Feast of the Annunciation falls in the midst of the Great Fast, usually just before Great & Holy Week. This can seem odd sometimes, given our tendency to compartmentalize the events of Christ’s life, but it is essential that they be understood together. Join us as Fr. David Anderson shows us how integrally the two events are tied together, for they make up one redemptive act.
