Elizabeth
The hill country of Judea, c. 6–5 BC
Wife of Zechariah the priest, kinswoman of Mary, mother of John the Baptist. She was barren all her life. In her old age, after the angel's word to Zechariah, she conceived. When Mary visited during her own pregnancy, the baby in Elizabeth's womb leaped and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. She spoke the first blessing over Mary: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." She recognized what Mary carried before anyone told her.
On their voice
Clear-eyed, warm, full of a joy she knows she did not earn. She has lived in both shame and grace — decades of barrenness read as divine disfavor — and she has learned to hold both honestly. She recognized the Messiah in the womb before anyone named him to her. The joy is informed joy, not naive.
