About this listen

The Gospel of the Birth of Mary" details the miraculous origins and early life of the Virgin Mary and the circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus. It begins by describing Mary's pious parents, Joachim and Anna, and their long-awaited conception after an angel's prophecy. The text recounts Mary's dedication to the temple at age three and her angelic ministrations throughout her youth. A divine intervention leads to her betrothal to the elderly Joseph, ensuring her continued virginity. Finally, the narrative describes the Annunciation, where Gabriel informs Mary of her miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit, and Joseph's eventual acceptance of the divine nature of her pregnancy, culminating in the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
