Thursday, August 18, 29 A.D.: The disciples of John the Baptist celebrated the first anniversary of death of John the Baptist, and they prayed for the repose of him.
I wrote the memories of John the Baptist.
Zechariah and Elizabeth were relatives of Mary, so they were presented at the wedding ceremony of Joseph and Mary in Jerusalem.
The late-September of 6 B.C. of the old solar calendar of the Jews: Zechariah who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah was serving as priest before the God when his division was on duty. As the priests had the custom of the priesthood, they had to burn the incense in the Temple of the Lord. He drew lot, and the lot fell to him.
The crowd was praying outside when he was burning incense. Just then, an angel Gabriel appeared to him standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
The angel Gabriel said to him. (Luke 1:5-25).
