The scene of Mary's story takes place in the temple, where an [[wikipedia:angel|angel]] would visit her in her dreams, and teach her new prayers. One night, the angel "turns her arms into wings"<ref>Original lyrics: "[...]e le mie braccia divennero ali[...]".</ref> and takes her with him to a place far away. Meanwhile, the voices of the priests in the temple bring Mary back from the dream, and as she sees the angel "turn into a comet",<ref>Original lyrics: "[...]poi vidi l'angelo mutarsi in cometa[...]".</ref> she is awakened by noises in the streets. Though confused, the angel's words still echo lingering in her mind: "They will call him the Son of God". She then realizes that she has become pregnant.<ref>Original lyrics: "[...]"Lo chiameranno Figlio di Dio" / Parole confuse nella mia mente / Svanite in un sogno ma impresse nel ventre[...]".</ref> As her story ends, she starts crying again, and Joseph sympathetically caresses her forehead.
