Annunziata


Annunziata is the Italian word for the Annunciation. It is generally understood to refer to the young Mary, [mother of Jesus], receiving the word of the Angel Gabriel that she is to bear the Christ child. It is a common theme for reverence in Roman Catholicism. In Catholic families where all the children are girls it is sometimes given to a new child in the hope that the next born will be a boy.
