As the Christmas story continues, Gabriel goes to the small backwoods village of Nazareth to seek out a descendant of David, a carpenter named Joseph. When he arrives, Gabriel speaks to Joseph's fiance, Mary, instead. The message he has for her is unlike any other; a child is to be born, before Mary has union with her future husband. Mary is rightly confused about how this could be possible until Gabriel explains that the child will be called the Son of God; the Holy Spirit will come upon Mary and God will "overshadow" her. The end result: Emmanuel, God with us. Mary's response to this shocking news is a credit to her character, "I am the Lord's servant".
