Hannah’s expressions bear some similarity to those of the virgin girl Mary, spoken shortly after she learned that she was to become the mother of the Messiah. ​ — Luke 1: 46 - 55.
Hanna mõtteavaldused on üsna sarnased Maarja omadega, mida see neitsi ütles peagi pärast seda, kui sai teada, et temast saab Messia ema.
