An engraved scene in black and white of a woman wearing a round hat climbing steps to a building, reaching out to grasp the hand and touch the shoulder of another woman standing on the landing. The outdoor scene is quite busy, with men and women conversing or engaging in daily tasks.

Today, on the Feast of the Visitation, we remember Mary’s journey to Elizabeth—a meeting filled with joy, faith, and the presence of Christ.
