To be honest, I've been screening several translations. Other than the King James, the passage from Luke is translated "greetings."
So, when a Catholic prays, "Hail Mary" they're actually saying "Hi, Mary."
Additionally, Christians were put to death for failing to say, "Hi Ceaser!"
I guess I can accept that, but would someone please explain how the Angel Gabriel began speaking Old Norse!
That's a good one!
And, just to keep things real here, I should quote what is too easily overlooked, and I am as guilty as, or guiltier than, anybody, in not living up to the standard set:
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
I’m using the OED.
