Nazareth

When Mary became a young woman, god sent Angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in the county called Galilee where Mary had lived

with her parents as a young child. Later when her parents were very old she was engaged to an older man named Joseph who promised to take care of her. The angel had a message for her from God. The angel

greeted her and said: “Rejoice, O favored one. Lord is with you ! Blessed you are among women!”….. “Do not be afraid, Mary, God is

pleased with you and will bless you with a son. You will call him “Jesus”….” God is sending His Holy Spirit to you, and the power of

God will come to you….
