Tamely, frail body, abstain today; today
My soul eats twice, Christ hither and away.
She sees Him man, so like God made in this,
That of them both a circle emblem is,
Whose first and last concur; this doubtful day
Of feast or fast, Christ came and went away;
- John Donne, "Upon the Annunciation and Passion Falling upon One Day 1608"
Good Friday this year is on the traditional date for celebrating the Annunciation (March 25)
