Mary’s Faith-filled Song: The Magnificat, Journey of Faith

Advent and Christmas form a unique “Marian Season.” Christians recall that it was Mary (along with Joseph), awaiting the birth of her son, who celebrated the very first advent. Mary made a unique faith journey, preparing for Christ’s nativity for nine full months. During this time Mary can be heard singing the Magnificat, a song of praise, the same canticle she probably sung repeatedly during the nine months of her pregnancy, the original advent season.
