Luke 1:10

Key Reflection

In Luke 1:10, we find a description of the priestly duties during the period when Zacharias served in the Temple. According to the established customs of his office, it was his turn by lot to enter the temple and perform the ritual of burning incense. This practice was not only a religious duty but also a significant moment, as the smoke from the incense would ascend toward God, symbolizing prayers rising to heaven.
