Answered in 2 sources
Mary's visit to Elizabeth illustrated God's purpose in confirming faith through community and the miraculous nature of Christ's conception.
Mary's visit to Elizabeth, as recorded in Luke 1:39-56, serves as a significant moment in biblical narrative showing the interconnectedness of faith among believers. Mary, having been told by the angel Gabriel that her cousin Elizabeth was pregnant despite her advanced age, rushed to see Elizabeth—an embodiment of her belief that 'with God, nothing shall be impossible' (Luke 1:37). This visit illustrates the purpose God has in strengthening and confirming faith through relationships, as both women experience the miraculous power of God in their lives. Elizabeth's recognition of Mary as the 'mother of my Lord' without prior knowledge affirms Mary's faith and highlights God's hand in their lives, showcasing the miraculous nature of Christ's conception.
