Saints Alive! | Sts. Zechariah and Elizabeth

The Meeting of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Francesco Guarino, Sotheby's; depicts the moment (recounted in Luke 1:8-12) that the angel Gabriel visited the elderly Zechariah (here shown accompanied by his wife Elizabeth) in the temple to announce that Elizabeth would give birth to John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus. As punishment for his disbelief, Zechariah was struck dumb until his wife gave birth.
