Birth of St John the Baptist-Mother and Father

  "The Song of the Hill Country" Elizabeth and her husband, Zechariah, were very old and had almost given up hope of having a family. But Elizabeth never lost her kindness. One day, an angel promised them a son. When Elizabeth’s cousin Mary came to visit, the two women shared a beautiful moment of joy in the hills of Judea. Elizabeth’s son, John, would grow up to be a voice in the wilderness, but her story is about the quiet beauty of a promise kept. #Elizabeth #Zechariah #Christian #kirk #church https://elevenlabs.io/music/songs/aoe2HXlm5m98EPvRNWY5
