The story is ,the maternal grandmother of Jesus, Hannah, had hitherto been barren. She poured out her heart to God:
If only God will grant her a child, she would surely dedicate such a child for the service of God in the temple.
God granted her prayer and Mary was born. Hannah was disappointed. She was yearning for a son, but instead she delivered a daughter; and in no way is the female like the male, for what she had in mind. What was she to do? She had made a vow to God.
She waited for Mary to be big enough to fend for herself.
When the time came, Hannah took her darling daughter to the temple, to hand over for temple services. Every priest wanted to
be the god-father of this child. They cast lots with arrows for her - like the tossing of the coin - head or tail?
Eventually she fell to the lot of Zakariya, but not without a dispute.
Please read the TRUE WORD OF GOD called Al Qur'an.
Remember
There is no god but Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the messenger of Allah
