According to the Gospel according to Luke, Mary was betrothed to Joseph when the angel Gabriel announced to her (the annunciation) that she would become pregnant. Mary asked how this could be, for she had not yet had sexual relations. Gabriel said: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will cover you as a shadow" (Luke 1:26-35).

Gabriel had more news: "Your relative Elizabeth is also pregnant with a son, despite her old age. She is now, even though people thought her barren, in the sixth month of her pregnancy." Shortly thereafter Mary traveled to a town in the Judean hill country, where she visited Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah (Mary’s Visitation). Mary stayed there for about three months (Luke 1:36-56).
