From the book of Luke, chapter 1, verses 26-28

“And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in to her and said:

‘Hail, thou art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.‘”
