When God sent Angel Gabriel to Mary to ask her if she would be Jesus' Mother, He also asked Gabriel to tell her that He had made a very great miracle.
He was giving Mary's cousin Elizabeth her own little baby under her heart too.
This was unexpected, because Cousin Elizabeth was an older lady.
She did not expect to have a baby anymore.
God heard her prayers for a little one of her own.
And God did an even greater thing; He granted Elizabeth and her holy husband Zachariah - who was a respected Priest at the Jerusalem Temple - a baby boy prophet.
Not only a lovely baby; but a PROPHET!
A Prophet who had been foretold by Isaiah.
Isaiah, the great Prophet many many years before had written that God told him that He was going to send a great prophet to make everything ready for the great Son of God to come.
Now God had chosen Jesus' own cousin for this great task.
Can you imagine the excitement? Can you imagine the joy?
Two ladies having their little ones who were going to change the whole world.
How great is God! And how wonderful are Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, Zachariah and all their families. By their kindness and love of God they made it possible for God to make all these things happen.
