This promise of a Redeemer had been given to the Jewish people before Moses led them out of the desert.

About the Authors
The Annunciation
This day, that would change the history of the world, started like any other day. But the people of Israel could feel an electricity in the air that cut through the calm of the day. Mary had grown up with a full knowledge of Holy Scripture. She, like her brothers and sisters of Israel, was awaiting the Messiah. This promise of a Redeemer had been given to the Jewish people before Moses led them out of the desert.
There was a great need for the Messiah. The chosen people had suffered for many centuries, rather than give homage to false gods. They were enslaved and persecuted before, but now, the Romans had completely crushed them. The worst part of their captivity was not the slavery of their bodies, but the enslavement of their souls. Their ancestors had died rather than worship pagan gods. Now, what could not be done with the use of force, was being accomplished by the pervading, insidious influence of their captors. More and more, the Romans' godless philosophy infused them, choking out the beliefs and traditions of the sons of David. All that the Jewish people had left were memories of King David and King Solomon. They needed another David, another Solomon, someone who would deliver them from their enemies, and give them back their faith and their hope.
It was into this setting that Mary was born and grew up. She grieved for her people, not so much because of their physical suffering, but because they were losing their heritage, their faith in Yahweh, Abba, their Father, their trust that He would take care of them. They were looking to man for answers, and Mary knew there would be no help coming from man. She prayed that her people would look to their God for deliverance, trusting that He would hear and answer them.
Mary's life was one of prayer
Mary had been consecrated to the Temple, as a child. Her ongoing prayer was that the Messiah would come in her lifetime and free the people she loved so much. She spent much of her time in the Temple; but since her father's death, she spent a great deal of time caring for her aging mother, Anne. Mary prayed constantly, even while doing her chores at home. There was a saying: What good can come out of Nazareth.
(John:1:46) Nazareth, through the will of God would give us Mother Mary, Saint Joseph and Jesus.
It was late afternoon. March was filled with promise of new beginnings. Mary had a spring to her step, as she walked home from the well, from which she drew water each day. But somehow, this day felt different. Was she remembering the ancient prayer said at the Seder (the meal celebrating the Passover): "Why
