~/annunciation

March 25. Some argue the Incarnation begins here rather than at the Nativity, the Word made flesh at conception per the Creed. Never transferred in the East, even in Holy Week; yields to Holy Week in the West.

~/ascension

Forty days after Pascha. Chrysostom: our nature is enthroned today above the Cherubim. The hinge between Resurrection and Pentecost.

The Ascension enthrones human nature in heaven, a change in what humanity is. The Annunciation is where that nature is assumed, but it is narrated as promise and consent, not yet accomplishment.
