On the eighth day, when Elizabeth presented her baby for circumcision, it was customary to name the child. The priest was prepared to name him after his father, Zacharias; but, Elizabeth said, “No, his name is John!” “But no one in the family has that name,” the priest responded; and he turned to Zacharias for guidance. Zacharias took and tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” With that, Zacharias was freed to speak and he gave praise to God for his blessing. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Luke 1:57-64]
