Saints Zechariah and Elizabeth

Saints Zechariah and Elizabeth are the parents of Saint John the Baptist. Saint Zechariah was an Israelite priest, and Saint Elizabeth his wife was a cousin of the Virgin Mary. They were an old couple who were childless, which was a great shame in their culture. But God miraculously gave them a son in their old age. Saint Zechariah did not believe when an angel told him the news, and as a result was struck dumb until the child was born. We will read from the account of Saints Zechariah and Elizabeth from the Gospel of Luke, and read reflections on the lives of the saints from homilies by Archbishop William Lori from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, and Father Ted Bobosh from the Orthodox Church of America's Christ the Savior/Holy Spirit church in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
