Mary, the mother of Jesus ,and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, were pregnant at the same time. They also were relatives, were both on their first pregnancy, both became pregnant through an almighty act of God, God sent the angel Gabriel to announce both births, and they both were given a child who played a key role in God's Advent in our world and his plan of salvation.
