Has anyone else noticed this yet?

Actually, the Church moves the Feast of the Annunciation to April 4th this year, because it can't even be moved to Easter Week. Easter is so important, it gets its own octave with nothing else getting in the way of that.

You don't have commemorations during Good Friday, and not during Easter Week.

But the day the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity first took flesh, after Mary's "fiat", that is when the priesthood began. Our Lord being God and man at the same time, united in his very person is metaphysically and fundamentally a priest, or pontifex ("bridge maker") between God and man.

To have this feast day coincide with the One Sacrifice of all time, the sacrifice made present on our altars every Sunday, which took place on Calvary -- that is deep.

If you wanted to list the most "priestly" feast days, you'd have to list March 25th, followed by Good Friday.

The last time the two coincided was in 2000.

P.S. For those who don't know, Archbishop Lefebvre died on March 25th, 1991. EXACTLY TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO. Things like that don't happen by accident. His whole life and life's work was about preserving the true priesthood/Mass in particular. It's like a sign from God by which we "with ears to hear" can understand that +Lefebvre is now in heaven, and that his work was most pleasing to God.

Archbishop Lefebvre, pray for us!

I always thought ever since I found out that it was very important that the Archbishop died on that day.

It's always be a good sign when someone passes on one of Our Lady's Feast Days!

St. Bernadette's mother passed on one of Our Lady's Feast Days.

Miracle of the Sacred Thorn

Friday, 25 March 2016 19:00
 
Italian News services have just announced that once again, at 16:10 (Italian time) the miracle of the Sacra Spina has occurred.  When Good Friday coincides with the Feast of the Annunciation on 25 March, the Sacred Thorn from the Crown of Our Lord Jesus Christ, kept in the cathedral of Andria, changes its colour and drops of the Precious Blood appear on it. The miracle last happened when the two liturgical days coincided in 2005. The same coincidence of Good Friday with the Feast of the Annunciation on 25 March will not happen again until 2057. Similar miracles happen in other places where a thorn from the Crown of Our Lord Jesus Christ is venerated.
