What’s Behind It All? God,
Science and the Universe
(A Dialogue with Krauss,
Meyer, Lamoureux)

By St. Luke, Archbishop of Crimea

Our Church celebrates today three important historic events.
The first is the Annunciation of the Theotokos, which we celebrate today
with joy and love, along with awe before the majesty of this event, called
the "capital" of our salvation.
Nine months after the Annunciation the second of the important events
took place, the Birth according to the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The pinnacle and completion of our salvation was the Resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ after His horrible death on the Cross.

» joyful message to the Most Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary, who lived in
a humble and poor home of the carpenter Joseph.
The dialogue of the Panagia is so holy and majestic that I dare not describe
it in my own words, but I must repeat the words of the Gospel.
When the Archangel entered the room, he said:
"Rejoice, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among
women."

She was terrified by these words, and she considered such a greeting
troubling, and the angel went on to say:
