DESCRIPTION:March 25th is the Feast of the Annunciation to the Virgin St. 
 Mary the mother of God (Hido d'Suboro da'bthulto Mariam Yoldath Aloho) or 
 Vachanippu Perunaal (വചനിപ്പു പെരുനാള്‍)
  according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Church.\n\nTo
 day we commemorate the archangel Gabriel's announcement of the incarnation
  of our Lord to St. Mary. We celebrate the Feast of Annunciation (Suboro) 
 to St. Mary twice a year\; on the 3rd Sunday after Qudosh Idto & on March 
 25th (9 months before Christmas). Suboro is considered to be one of the mo
 st important feasts of the Church\, so much so that the Holy Qurbono must 
 be held on this day even if March 25th also happens to be Good Friday!\n\n
 "So the holy thing which shall be born of the virgin shall be called Holy 
 & the Son of God." (Luke 1:35). The event of Annunciation of Divine Concep
 tion marks the beginning of the two mysteries of Incarnation & Redemption.
  In the Syriac tradition\, St. Mary is never a passive figure\, nor is she
  credulous\, which is clearly evident in the scriptures (Luke 1:34). She i
 s often portrayed as questioning the angel closely in order to make sure h
 e was not a messenger of Satan disguised as an angel of light. (II Cor 11:
 14) The moment Mary yielded to God’s Command\, the Holy Ghost came upon 
 her absolving her of sin & sanctifying her (Luke 1:35). Divinity dwelt in 
 her womb & of her blood a full man was created initiating\, thus the myste
 ry of Divine Incarnation without the seed of a man “before they came tog
 ether”(Matt 1:18). The Lord had the complete human nature of his mother\
 , that is a real body with articulate human soul (Luke 23:46 Matt 26:38)\,
  resembling us\, yet without sin (Heb. 4:15).\n\nSt. Mary is perpetually v
 irgin. She conceived as a virgin\, & brought forth her son without breakin
 g the seal of virginity. (Matt 1:25) She remained unknown to man. In the t
 ypology of the Syriac tradition various names are given to Mary to symboli
 ze said virginity:\n\n-The Closed Door (thar'o dahid) \n-The Sealed Letter
  (egartho htimtho) \n-Unploughed Land (ar'o dlo ethpalhath) \n-Unpruned Vi
 ne (satho lo kashuh) \n-Thirsty Land (ar'o zahitho) \n-Gideon's Fleece (ge
 ztho d'Gideon)\n\nTo celebrate this blessed feast\, the Suryoye have a num
 ber of customs which though not dogmatic\, are passed on for generations. 
 These traditions have not carried forward into Malankara:\n\nThe Syriac Or
 thodox in the Middle East have a tradition where the faithful put on a "si
 boro" around the wrist. This "siboro" consists of a white thread & a red t
 hread wound around each other. When Virgin Mary became pregnant the Divine
  nature (God the Word\; the red thread) united with the human nature (the 
 white thread) which God the Word took from Virgin Mary through the holy Sp
 irit's action. Thus our Lord Jesus Christ is "One nature from two natures"
  or as professed by St. Cyril of Alexandria\, "one pre-incarnate divine na
 ture assumed human nature becoming perfectly united in Jesus. The one natu
 re of the Incarnate Logos." The faithful wear the "siboro" from March 25th
  (the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary) until Qymtho (Easter Sunday) when i
 t is clipped off & burnt. \n\nAnother tradition is the preparation of 'lay
 sho' bread. While the morning prayers for the Feast are recited\, the Virg
 in woman of the Church will prepare the dough needed. During prayers there
  will be a procession around the inside of the Church. Finally\, the baked
  bread is prepared & then blessed by the priest to be distributed. \n\nSou
