Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic answers.

Tomorrow is the feast of the Annunciation, which means it's the day that we celebrate

when the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, I'm your host, Catholic answers a polygist and

speaker, Trent Horn.

And when people hear that God became man, sometimes they think about God becoming Jesus during

his public ministry or even God being born in a manger in Bethlehem at Jesus's birth.

But that's not when the word became flesh.

The word became flesh at the Annunciation.

It was at that moment that God became man.

He became a one-celled organism.

He lived an entire human life, just like us, which began at conception as a zygote, a

one-celled organism, the eternal God becoming man.

And so I love visiting the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth.

It's a wonderful Basilica.

If you're ever in Israel, you have to go and check it out.

It's a beautiful spa.

And in Latin, it says over the place where it is commemorated, where the Annunciation

took place, it says in Latin, the word became flesh here and just gives you chills to

think about that when you're praying there.

Although if you are at the Basilica of the Annunciation, I will say there's all this artwork

around.
