What did Mary do after hearing she would bear the Messiah? Mary, engaged to Joseph, heard from the angel Gabriel that she, a virgin, would conceive miraculously and bear the long-awaited Messiah. Gabriel also informed her that her elderly relative Elizabeth was six months pregnant. Seeking understanding, Mary traveled to Elizabeth's home, a three-day journey. Upon arrival, Elizabeth's unborn son leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth blessed Mary. Mary responded with a song of praise, saying, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior”. Despite the challenges ahead, Mary focused on God's power and salvation, demonstrating faith and trust in His plan.
