A home built around a courtyard.

Read

In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah, where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

Luke 1:39-42 (BSB)

Think

Mary hurried to see her relative Elizabeth, who was expecting a baby too: John. When Mary arrived, Elizabeth’s baby leaped for joy. Even before He was born, Jesus brought joy.
