The Feast of the Annunciation, Feast of the Incarnation, Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, Conceptio Christi, or by many other names, is declared by Man to be nine months before Christmas on the 25th of March. Man has decreed that Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December and therefore Man further declares that Jesus Christ was conceived within the Virgin Mary on the 25th of March. Man's decrees are NOT derived from the Bible; but their Man made origins are documented in Man's written history. Search Man's internet for the origins of the Feast of the Annunciation (read here, here, or here) and read the numerous articles detailing the origins of Christmas.
The Truth, the Word of God, the Holy Bible does not state the date of Jesus’s incarnation (conception) or his birth.
Jesus warned about deception and lies numerous times. Did you listen to and heed Jesus's warnings?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (Matthew 24:4)
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24:11)
And Jesus said, the whole world and all nations shall be deceived. (Revelation 12:9 Revelation 18:23)
Are You Deceived?
Are You Deceived? Can you recognize what is the Truth from what is a Lie? Do you follow the words of Man or do you follow the Word of God contained in the Bible? Do even read Your Bible and contemplate its meaning?
How to know the Truth? Prove everything through knowledge revealed in the Bible – “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Do not add (read into, insert an opinion) or dismiss (rationalize) the Words you read – “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you” (Deuteronomy 4:2).
The media portal for Vatican information, the Vatican News, has a post called "Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord", declares it is celebrated on 25 March, and quotes Luke 1:26-39 to substantiate its interpterion as follows:
Compare the Vatican News quote of Luke to the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition Bible quote of Luke 1:26-38. What was omitted in the Vatican News quote of Luke?
You should have clearly recognized and identified "In the sixth month" was omitted in the Vatican News quote of Luke compared to the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition Bible quote of Luke 1:26-38. Why is "In the sixth month" omitted by the Vatican? Do you understand that deception by omission of the whole truth is just another form of a lie?
What does "In the sixth month" of verse "In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth," (Luke 1:26) mean?
To understand what "In the sixth month" means, one needs to understand the meaning of a month as revealed in the Bible - read this post for understanding. The following chart illustrates the relationship of Biblical months to the equivalent modern day Gregorian calendar created by Man.

The Biblical "sixth month" is associated with Man's Gregorian calendar months of August - September. Man's declaration that Jesus was conceived on 25th March when "...the angel Gabriel was sent by God..." (Luke 1:26) is associated with the Biblical first (1) month and does not agree with the Biblical statement of Luke 1:26, "In the sixth month..."
Next, critically reread Luke 1:26-38, also for comparison read Luke 1:26-38 in the King James Version. Understand that Luke 1:35, "The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God." indicates that the conception of Jesus is future tense, "will come" and "will overshadow". No where in these verses does it indicate that Jesus's conception occurred at this meeting with the angel Gabriel but would occur at a future time when "the power of the Most High will overshadow you".
Man's declared celebration of the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord on the 25th of March is a falsehood, a Lie, just as Man's declared birth of Jesus on the 25th of December is a Lie. Man's declarations are NOT found within the texts of the Holy Bible.
If you desire to know the Truth - READ YOUR BIBLE - “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). For further discussion on the conception and birth of Jesus Christ read the post, The Birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
And Jesus said, the whole world and all nations shall be deceived. (Revelation 12:9 Revelation 18:23)
Are You Deceived?
