This tells the story of when Mary, the expectant mother of Jesus visits Elizabeth her cousin, who is also expecting a baby even though she and her husband were very old - the baby who becomes John the Baptist."At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!"
Of all the billions of women to have been born on earth throughout history, she, alone, was chosen by God before all ages to be the mother of his only son, Jesus. As he cousin, Elizabeth, said, she was "Blessed among women."

When Elizabeth received the news that Mary had died and she (Elizabeth) was now queen, her comment was "This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes" so inasmuch as she was now queen, she was happy. She also said "The laws of nature move me to sorrow for my sister". They had had a rocky relationship and were not especially close. Thus, Elizabeth could be said to have been both happy and sad.
