This picture is from the Church of the Annunciation in the Holy Land where there are images of Mary from many countries of the world. The collection capture well the note of universal salvation which is a theme of the Gospel according to Luke, from which we will read the Sunday Gospel all this coming year.

Today's feast of the Immaculate Conception chooses the Gospel of the Annunciation to capture Mary's holiness. We remember this scene every time we pray the Angelus.
The angel of the Lord brought a message to Mary.
Let it be done to me as you say.
And the Word became flesh and made his home among us.
