"So, they came hurriedly and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the feeding trough. On seeing HIM, they related what they had been told about the child; and all were astonished on hearing the shepherds.
As for Mary, she treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.
The shepherds then returned, giving glory and praise to GOD for all they had heard and seen, just as the angels had told them.
On the eight day, the circumcision of the baby had to be performed; HE was named JESUS, the name the angel had given HIM before HE was conceived." - Luke 2:16-21
(Mary treasured all these words, because every event of her life was for her the way GOD revealed HIS plans to her, and all the more so now that she was living with JESUS. She wondered, marveled but was not confused, because her faith was beyond wavering. However, she too had to discover the ways of salvation slowly and painfully. She pondered on these things until the time of the Resurrection and Pentecost when all the words and deeds of JESUS became clear.)
