Sculptor Martón Váró’s large Carrara marble sculpture of The Annunciation that adorns the front of the Ave Maria oratory was officially unveiled and dedicated Friday afternoon — the Feast of the Annunciation, in the town of Ave Maria, Florida, also home to Ave Maria University. Thousands were on hand for the Mass, Eucharistic procession and dedication ceremony.
