Nativity Story - Elizabeth gives birth to John Baptist

Nativity Story 2006
Gabriel appeared to John's father, Zacharias, in the temple. Now Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth were very old, and had no children. Gabriel told Zacharias that they would have a son named John, and that he would be filled with the Holy Spirit while in his mother's womb. Zacharias questioned Gabriel, saying "How shall I know this?" As a sign, Gabriel told Zacharias that he would be unable to speak until his son was born. When Zecharias left the temple, he was mute, and all who knew him realized he had seen a vision.

Elizabeth and Mary were relatives. In Elizabeth's sixth month of pregnancy Mary visited her. Upon hearing Mary's voice, the baby in Elizabeth's womb leaped with joy. Elizabeth blessed Mary, who then delivered the Song of Mary, which is also known as the Magnificat. Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about 3 months. When John was born, his relatives wanted to call him Zacharias, after his father. They came to his father, who wrote as follows, "His name is John." Immediately Zacharias was able to speak.

Is it just me or does Mary look a little manly?

Can you imagine how amazed Zacharias must've been when God revealed that Elizabeth would give birth to John? They were very old, and never gave birth to any children before.
