Product Description
The First Joyful Mystery – The Annunciation plaque vividly depicts the Archangel Gabriel greeting Mary and bringing to her the message that, if she consents, she will be the mother of the Messiah. Mary here is just moments away from responding to Gabriel with her history-changing Fiat: Yes! May it be done to me as you have said! This plaque will be a great gift for a wedding, a wedding anniversary, an ordination, a profession or jubilee of religious vows, and, of course, Mother’s Day! All 20 plaques of the Mysteries of the Rosary will be a superb gift for a school, parish, hospital, convent, monastery, or retreat house.
The Annunciation Plaque – A Distinctive Labor of Love, Faith, and Hope
This Annunciation plaque stands 8.6 x 6.9 x 1 inches and is composed of dolomite stone and resin. A community of cloistered nuns create and finish by hand this statuette in the atelier of their monastery in France. Each nun undertakes prayerfully a designated task to bring each plaque to completion. How, where, and by whom this plaque is made means that the The Annunciation plaque is indeed ”culturally authentic” as well as a distinctive labor of love, faith and hope!
Mary’s Fiat – “Let it done to to me as you have said”
Mary said “Yes!” But she could have said “No” or “Maybe” or “Not yet.” After all, she was, as a human being, endowed with freedom – and God respected her freedom just as God respects ours. Mary’s “immaculate conception” certainly meant that Mary was spared the adverse effects of “original sin” and was therefore naturally predisposed to obey God’s will freely and joyfully. But this natural predisposition surely does not mean that Mary was pre-programmed like an automaton. Real freedom means precisely that, the freedom to say “Yes,” but also the freedom to say “maybe,” or even “no.” Mary then shows us through her Fiat what human freedom looks like when it is lived and expressed most authentically.

Luke 1:26-38
In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
