Nativity:

I kneeled before my child, the soon to be saviour of the world. His face glowed like a halo. A little lamb went up and nuzzled my arm. His coat was as white as snow. The wind ruffled the lamb’s fur, showing the skin underneath. His skin was flamingo pink. I glanced at Jesus, and I noticed Joseph looking too. His eyes were full of happiness. I realised that this baby Jesus, would bring joy to both of our lives.

Visitation:

I put one foot inside Elizabeth’s house. I could feel the sand swadling my foot. My heart tore through my chest, making it hard to breath. Elizabeth and Zachariah greeted me with loving smiles. I immediately felt air surge through my lungs. The smell of their house welcomed me, giving me hugs and kisses. Elizabeth then said, “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” My face radiated with joy.

Annunciation:

I kneeled to honor and pray. Suddenly, an angel appeared in front of me. POOF! His wings were as bright as sunshine. I was afraid, and wanted to bolt like a rabbit. The angel spoke “Fear not Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the Highest.”

I was honoured that I had found favour with God!

Shaking, I replied, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word.” With that, the angel departed.
