AnswerLargely this is not true, but it depends somewhat on which gospel and which nativity story you wish to read. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary already knew she would have a baby when an angel visited Joseph to tell him that Mary's baby was conceived by the Holy Ghost. The Gospel does not say, but Joseph would have told Mary the tidings.In Luke's Gospel, an angel visited Mary even before she conceived and told her she would have a baby. The Gospel does not say, but Mary would have told Joseph the tidings.
