The Annunciation  In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel as sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.  And coming to her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” – Luke 1:26-28

The Visitation  When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” – Luke 1:41-42

The Nativity  And she gave birth to her firstborn son.  She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. – Luke 2:7

The Presentation  When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord.” – Luke 2:22-23

Finding Jesus  After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers. – Luke 2:46-47
