"In Mary’s 'yes,' uttered in her Magnificat, we see the transformation of a young teenage girl from fearful to determined, from simply accepting to deciding, from passivity to agency, from betrothed to surrogate mother of God—an honor rarer than gold. Perhaps the most remarkable annunciation in this passage is not the messenger’s revelation to Mary, but Mary’s 'yes' to the call." — from the artist statement for "Mary's Golden Annunciation" by Carmelle Beaugelin (@BeauFolioStudio) | @sanctifieda
