+### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk1.39-45)
+
+After receiving world-changing news, Mary takes up the offer of a sign and goes
+to see her relative. I've just realized it probably took several days, if not
+longer to get there. Nazareth is in Galilee, but Elizabeth lived in the hill
+country of Judah. If that is the same as the Roman province of Judea, or even
+the traditional lands of the tribe of Judah, that'd be a long hike, especially
+with the tradition of avoiding going through Samaria at the time.
+
+When Mary gets there, Elizabeth gets a revelation that Mary will be the mother
+of the Messiah and pronounces blessings upon her.

+Let us believe what You have spoken to us, so that we may be blessed and You
+will be glorified.
