Saint Elizabeth is an emblematic figure of the Bible, recognized as the mother of John the Baptist, the prophet precursor of Jesus. Its history is steeped in faith and miracles. Despite her advanced age, she conceived Jean after a long period of infertility, an event considered a divine sign. Elizabeth is described as a just and pious woman, having welcomed the visit of the Virgin Mary with great humility and gratitude. She played a vital role in the history of Christianity by raising John in the faith and thereby preparing the way for the coming of Jesus Christ. His life testifies to the power of divine providence and the grace that accompanies it.
