It is one of the rare chances when the Catholics have been allowed to eat meat on a Friday during the Lent period.
When and where is the 'Feast of Annunciation' scheduled to be held?
The Feast of the Annunciation is scheduled to be held on Friday, where Pope Francis will lead an Act of Consecration related to Russia and Ukraine. This announcement will take place in Rome at 5 p.m. (local time). Bishop David Bonnar would also join this act of consecration which will happen in the pope's presence at a mass gathering at St. Columba Cathedral located in Youngstown at around 05:10 p.m (local time).
The Catholic Diocese of Youngstown has announced this exemption for the Catholics to eat meat on Friday on the occasion of the Feast of the Annunciation.
What is the significance of the 'Feast of Annunciation'?
The celebration for the Feast of Annunciation is held on 25th March every year. This occasion is known by different names; some Catholics call it the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Conceptio Christi, the Lady Day, or Feast of the Incarnation. It is a holiday for Catholic Christians as it is the day to cherish the visit of Gabriel, the angel to the Virgin Mary. Gabriel had announced that Mary would give birth to the Lord Jesus Christ. This feast is an occasion to celebrate the entrance of Lord Jesus Christ into the human world as Joseph and Mary showed their willingness to accept the commands of God.
The Feast of the Annunciation diminishes the boundaries between the different factions of Christianity. Still, it is a matter of special occasion for the Catholics, Anglican, Orthodox, and people following the Lutheran churches. The day is one among the eight great festivals of God as per the beliefs of Orthodox Christianity, and it is one of the most important Marian feasts.
The feast is celebrated every year at the Roman Catholic Church, except when the day occurs during the Easter Triduum, i.e., during Good Friday, Maundy Thursday, and Holy Saturday. In this case, the celebration is shifted to the most favorable day during the Easterside. Nevertheless, the date of this feast never changes as per Eastern Eastern Catholicism & Orthodoxy's beliefs, despite it falling in Easter. When such an occasion occurs that Feast of the Annunciation and Easter fall on the same day, it is known as Kyriopascha.
