For todays solemn feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Ave fit ex Eva literally means that the hello is made out of Eve. Ave is a Latin greeting, like hello, often translated as Hail, as in Ave Maria / Hail Mary. Eva is Latin for Eve, and is Ave spelled backwards. So the sense is that Gabriels message to Mary, ave, reverses the sin of Eva, Eve. Marys yes undoes Eves no to God. Mary is the New Eve. Eve is the mother of all the living, and Mary is the mother of the new creation. Happy feast!
