The angel Gabriel visits Mary and tells her she will conceive and give birth to a son named Jesus, who will be the Son of God. Mary is confused by this since she has not been with a man. Gabriel explains that the Holy Spirit will come upon her and God's power will overshadow her. Mary accepts God's will, saying "Let it be to me according to your word." Mary then visits her relative Elizabeth, who confirms that Mary is blessed among women for believing God's message. Elizabeth's unborn baby leaps in her womb recognizing Jesus.

- 1. Luke 1:26-45 Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
