One day Zechariah was chosen to burn the incense, and an angel of the Lord appeared to him. The angel said that Elizabeth was going to be with child and that his name was to John. The angel who had appeared to Zechariah had also appeared to Mary(pregnant with Jesus) and whispered Elizabeths’s secret to her. Mary felt compelled to visit her relative to share in their bond of this blessing the Lord God had given to both of them.
