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

We may differ of religion but I admire you of your faith. A Catholic priest taught that lesson to us.

I am a Christian and I'm aware that Mary's mother had difficulty in bearing a child before Mary was born. God granted her request and Mary was born after she had prayed to God. All these information can be taken from early, reliable Jewish and Christian writings.
So, what is your point, really????????? Please do your homework properly before making such posts like this again..
Btw, your prophet Muhammad had his early influences from the Jews.. He heard and learned a lot from the Jews in his earlier days.. That was how the Quran also dictates a lot things from Judaism - from the creation of the universe, the story of Moses, the story of Jesus, etc.. Please check on this, and may the Truth lead you on..
Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
