Just curious if any others besides the RCC celebrate this day?

 

[Mary of Bethany]

Yes, we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation today. I took a day of vacation so I could attend the Vesperal Liturgy this morning. Joyous Feast to all who celebrate!

So do we Lutherans; Anglicans do to.

Feast of the Annunciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Catholic Church, Anglican, and Lutheran liturgical calendars, the feast is moved if necessary to prevent it from falling during Holy Week or Easter Week or on a Sunday. To avoid a Sunday before Holy Week, the next day (March 26) would be observed instead. In years such as 2005 when March 25 falls during Holy Week or Easter Week, the Annunciation is moved to the Monday after the Octave of Easter, which is the Sunday after Easter.[7]

The Eastern churches (Eastern Orthodox, Oriental and Eastern Catholic) do not move the feast of the Annunciation under any circumstance. They have special combined liturgies for those years when the Annunciation coincides with another feast. In these churches, even on Good Friday a Divine Liturgy is celebrated when it coincides with the Annunciation.

One of the most frequent accusations brought against New Calendarism is the fact that in the New Calendar churches (which celebrate the Annunciation according to the New Calendar, but Easter according to the Old Calendar), these special Liturgies can never be celebrated any more, since the Annunciation is always long before Holy Week on the New Calendar.........
