This is one instance of where Protestants think the biblical language is only symbolic and Catholics think of it as very literal.

It's about the only instance where Catholics are literal, as well.

Oh, no, it isn’t. Catholics take the Bible quite literally in the Luke’s narrative of the Archangel Gabriel’s visit to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Protestants don’t.

Also when Mary visits Elizabeth........that narrative is one that Catholics believe word for word.

“How is it that the “Mother of my Lord” should visit me?

Translation — this is where Catholics get the title for Mary as Mother of God!
