    Notes 
    • Elizabeth, also spelled Elisabeth, was a significant biblical figure. She is best known as the mother of John the Baptist, the wife of Zechariah, and the maternal aunt of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Let’s delve into her story:

      Background and Righteousness:
      Elizabeth was “of the daughters of Aaron,” which means she was from a priestly lineage.
      Both Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah were described as “righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless” (Luke 1:5–7).
      Despite their piety, they remained childless.
      The Angel’s Visit:
      While Zechariah was serving in the temple, the angel Gabriel appeared to him.
      Gabriel informed Zechariah that Elizabeth would bear a son named John, who would be great in the sight of the Lord.
      Zechariah doubted this message, and as a consequence, he was struck dumb until the prophecy was fulfilled (Luke 1:13–15).
      Elizabeth’s Pregnancy:
      After Zechariah’s service in the temple, Elizabeth became pregnant.
      She remained in seclusion for five months, rejoicing in God’s favor (Luke 1:24–25).
      The Visitation:
      The angel Gabriel also visited Mary, who was Elizabeth’s relative.
      Mary was informed that Elizabeth had already been pregnant for six months.
      Mary traveled to a town in the hill country of Judah to visit Elizabeth (Luke 1:26–40).
      Joyful Encounter:
      When Mary greeted Elizabeth, the baby in Elizabeth’s womb (John the Baptist) leaped for joy.
      Filled with the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41–42).
      Islamic Tradition:
      In Sunni Islamic reports, Elizabeth is considered a daughter of Imran, making her a sister of Mary.
      According to this tradition, Jesus (Isa) and John (Yahya) are believed to have been cousins.
      Feast Days:

      Roman Catholic: November 5
      Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican: September 5
      Elizabeth’s life exemplifies faith, devotion, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
