DE SCHREVEL vic. gen.   MARY'S ANNUNCIATION On the day upon which the Church celebrates the feast, I had a vision of Mary's Annunciation. I saw the Blessed Virgin a short time after her marriage in the house of Nazareth. Joseph was not there. He was at that moment journeying with two beasts of burden on the road to Tiberias, whither he was going to get his tools.
