The Significance of March 25

I'll simply mention that we're coming up on March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation: the announcement of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary.

March 25 is also an important date for readers of The Lord of the Rings. It's the date of the destruction of the Ring of Power. No doubt J. R. R. Tolkien purposefully chose March 25 for the destruction of the Ring as the date we celebrate the conception of our Lord Jesus--when God took on humanity.
