where she entered
The phrase "where she entered" signifies a deliberate action taken by Mary. The Greek word for "entered" is "εἰσῆλθεν" (eisēlthen), which implies a purposeful movement into a space. This action is significant as it marks the beginning of a profound encounter. In the context of the narrative, Mary's entry into the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth is not just a physical movement but a spiritual one, symbolizing the entry of grace and divine purpose into their lives. Historically, homes in ancient Judea were places of hospitality and familial bonds, and Mary's entrance signifies the deep connection and shared faith between her and Elizabeth.

the home of Zechariah
The "home of Zechariah" is more than just a physical dwelling; it represents a place of priestly heritage and divine promise. Zechariah, a priest, and his wife Elizabeth were both righteous before God, as described earlier in Luke 1. The Greek word for "home" is "οἶκος" (oikos), which can also mean household or family. This setting is crucial as it is within this home that the Holy Spirit will later fill Elizabeth, leading to her prophetic blessing over Mary. The home of Zechariah is a place where God's promises are being fulfilled, as both Elizabeth and Mary are carrying children of great significance to God's redemptive plan.

and greeted Elizabeth
The act of greeting, "ἀσπάζομαι" (aspazomai) in Greek, is more than a simple salutation; it is an expression of deep respect and affection. In the cultural context of the time, greetings were significant social rituals that conveyed honor and recognition. Mary's greeting to Elizabeth is filled with joy and anticipation, as both women are aware of the miraculous events unfolding in their lives. This greeting sets the stage for the subsequent revelation and joy that Elizabeth experiences, as the Holy Spirit moves within her. The greeting is a moment of spiritual recognition and connection, highlighting the shared joy and divine purpose between these two women of faith.
