We normally celebrate birthdays. The family rejoices at the news from the doctor who comes out of delivery room to announce the successful delivery of a baby. People are normally jubilant on occasions such as these. Similarly, there is joy in the house of Zechariah and Elizabeth. They all realized the import of this birth. It was the Archangel Gabriel who announced it. So, that is also the question that hangs at the birth of anyone and of everyone. It is about a hope in the newborn. With him or her, God always sends tidings of comfort and joy.
