As a young virgin, Mary received a visit from the Archangel Gabriel, who announced that she would conceive and bear a son, Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Despite her initial bewilderment and humility, she accepted God's will, declaring herself the servant of the Lord. She conceived and gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem. Her unwavering faith and obedience made her instrumental in God's plan for salvation.
