Blessed is the Child You Will Bear (Lk. 1:39-42)

A very simple image of Mary greeting her cousin Elizabeth in her home as described in the first chapter of Luke:


[39] In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, [40] and she entered the house of Zechari’ah and greeted Elizabeth. [41] And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit [42] and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! [43] And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
