Elizabeth was a priest's wife and a relative of Mary, and she and her husband Zechariah were both old and childless when the angel Gabriel announced she would bear a son who would prepare the way for the Messiah. When the pregnant Mary visited her, Elizabeth's own unborn child, John the Baptist, leapt inside her, and Elizabeth was the first person in the Gospels to call Mary blessed and to recognize by the Spirit that Mary carried her Lord.
