Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at night in Washington, DC. | ShutterstockThe Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., is inviting the faithful to take a virtual tour of its Joyful Mysteries Chapels in celebration of Christmas.

The five adjacent chapels located in the church sanctuary depict the five joyful mysteries of the rosary: The Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the Presentation in the Temple, and the Finding in the Temple. For the first joyful mystery, the Annunciation Chapel illustrates the angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she will conceive and bear the Son of God. Underneath, the Old Testament scene of Moses and the burning bush appears, capturing the moment when Moses is charged with freeing his people.

The Nativity Chapel depicts Jesus’s birth with the Magi and shepherds present. The Old Testament parallel pictures Isaiah’s prophecy of the Messiah’s virgin birth.
