As we enter into Advent, see the print in the back of church depicting the meeting between Elizabeth and Mary, a poignant moment with far-reaching consequences. Their encounter is a pivotal event in the biblical narrative, marking the recognition of each other’s divine destinies. Elizabeth, pregnant with John the Baptist, and Mary, carrying Jesus, share a profound connection as relatives chosen for extraordinary roles. Their meeting symbolizes the convergence of two crucial chapters in the unfolding story of Christianity. It signifies the intertwining of destinies, the passing of blessings, and the beginning of a journey that will shape the course of religious history. This encounter is a testament to faith, prophecy, and the extraordinary events surrounding the birth of Christ.
