“And in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent from God… To a virgin…. Mary. And the Angel… said to her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: Blessed art thou among women. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call his name, Jesus…. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God. (Gospel according to St. Luke, i, 26-35)

“… when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb: and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?  …. [B]lessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.” (Gospel according to St. Luke, i, 41-45)

“And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon… and the Holy Ghost was in him… And when his parents brought in the child Jesus… [Simeon] also took him into his arms, and blessed God… and said to Mary, his mother: Behold, this child is set for the ruin, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted. And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed.” (Gospel according to St. Luke, i, 25-45)

“And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” (Apocalypse xi, 19 – xii, 1)
