'''Saint Zachary''' (Hebrew: ''Zekharya''; 1st century BC), also known as '''Zechariah the Priest''', was a Jewish priest of the division of Abijah and the husband of [[Saint Elizabeth]], father of [[John the Baptist]], whose story of miraculous conception and annunciation is detailed in the [[Gospel of Luke]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=St. Zachary |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=251 |website=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-11-14}}</ref> According to Scripture, Zachary, serving in the [[Temple in Jerusalem|Jerusalem Temple]], was visited by the angel Gabriel who announced Elizabeth's pregnancy and John's birth, striking him mute for disbelief until the circumcision (Luke 1:5–25). He later prophesied the child's role in the Benedictus (Luke 1:67–79), recognizing him as the forerunner of the Messiah.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zechariah, father of John the Baptist |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechariah%2C_father_of_John_the_Baptist |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2025-11-14}}</ref> An unverified tradition holds he was murdered in the Temple by Herod the Great for refusing to reveal John's location, but this originates from apocryphal sources and cannot be confirmed biblically. | '''Saint Zachary''' (Hebrew: ''Zekharya''; 1st century BC), also known as '''Zechariah the Priest''', was a Jewish priest of the division of Abijah and the husband of [[Saint Elizabeth]], father of [[John the Baptist]], whose story of miraculous conception and annunciation is detailed in the [[Gospel of Luke]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=St. Zachary |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=251 |website=Catholic Online |access-date=2025-11-14}}</ref> According to Scripture, Zachary, serving in the [[Temple in Jerusalem|Jerusalem Temple]], was visited by the angel Gabriel who announced Elizabeth's pregnancy and John's birth, striking him mute for disbelief until the circumcision (Luke 1:5–25).
