Wood carving of the Annunciation from the Kefermarkt altarpiece

The Kefermarkt altarpiece is a richly decorated wooden altarpiece in the Late Gothic style in the parish church of Kefermarkt in Upper Austria. Commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zelking, it was completed around 1497. Saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher are depicted in the central section. The wing panels depict scenes from the life of Mary, and the altarpiece also has an intricate superstructure and two side figures of Saints George and Florian. The identity of its maker, known by the notname Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary. Throughout the centuries, it has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding; a major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area". This image shows the upper-right wing panel of the Kefermarkt altarpiece, depicting the Annunciation. Mary is portrayed kneeling in a praying stool inside a half-open structure, supported by unusually carved pillars, crowned above their capitals with figures which are probably intended to be prophets from the Old Testament. The archangel Gabriel is entering the structure, and holds a speech scroll where parts of his greeting, the Ave Maria, is visible. In the upper-left corner is a depiction of God the Father among clouds and flanked by two angels. The panel originally also contained a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit, but it has been lost.

Possiblity for a new inclusion

[edit]

How about including a line for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which occurred on March 25, 1911?  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 17:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to add this for the 100th anniversary, which occurs this year. --Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 16:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A national day in Greece

[edit]

I have always heard that March 25 is Independence Day in Greece. (Admittedly, I am just a second-generation Greek American.) Isn't the independence day of every nation included among the holidays and observances shown on the respective date in the On this day box? Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 23:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Greece article has a section which has been marked as outdated. This disqualifies it from inclusion. howcheng {chat} 16:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't pope Constantine "elected" rather than "selected"?

Not done: As it says in the box at the top of this page, to report an error when this list is currently on the Main Page, see Main Page errors. Please remember that this list defers to the supporting articles, so it is best to achieve consensus and make any necessary changes there first. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
