About St. Zachary . . . Zachary was a priest in Jerusalem. The Angel Gabriel appeared to him. Zachary was troubled and afraid. Then Gabriel spoke, saying that the prayers of the priest and his wife would be answered; a son was to be born to them, and his name was to be John (who would become John the Baptist). Zachary found this hard to believe, for both he and Elizabeth were advanced in years. Overcoming his fear, he asked the angel for some sign. Because he doubted, the angel announced that Zachary would be stricken dumb and would regain the power of speech only when the prophecy was fulfilled. After John's birth, Zachary's speech was restored.
