angel gave god to tell mary a virgin she would have a son through the hill oh loy spholy . we visited the church where roman catholics believe the miracle happened. just a few blocks away is saint gabriel s church where the greek orthodox say the annunciation was. below that is mary s well the traditional sight of the place where mary and young jesus would have drawn water. i don t think we need to say it was here or there to be able to affirm something beautiful and wonderful h entered our world. why is the presence of angels in not only mary s life but joseph s life as well. in the first century jews believe the cause was full of demons and angels and the power of god. this is a fact of history.
