A:The Magnificat (Luke 1.47-55) is as song sung by Mary when she visited her pregnant cousin, Elizabeth. The author of Lukewould not, of course, have known what was really said a whole century earlier, but the Magnificat has a variety of similarities to Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2, as a parallel reading of the two will show.

Some manuscripts of the New Testament indicate that it was Elizabeth who sang the Magnificat, not Mary. It remains unclear which was the original version.
