The Day of the Visitation of Our Lady
The Day of the Visitation of Our Lady is celebrated annually on May 31st . This date is a Christian festival that commemorates the moment when the Virgin Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth, as described in the Gospel of Luke (1, 39-56). During this visit, Mary greeted Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist, and uttered the words that became known as "Magnificat", a song of praise to God. The Visitation of Our Lady is an occasion for Christians to reflect on humility, generosity and the importance of service to others, characteristics exemplified by Mary during her visit to Elizabeth.
