Irish Thursdays- Happy Annunciation Day!

Today is a two in one! Yes, the first is an Irish lamb  :)

The Lamb of God! God became flesh and died for us!

I love how Mary is always shown reading a book. Was she religious, or a book worm? I'm glad in the last picture, Waterhouse depicts her reading a scroll. That's much more likely, since books weren't invented yet. You have to love Waterhouse's color palette too.
