The Gospel of Luke (1:39–56) records the visit of Mary, who was pregnant with Jesus, to her cousin Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist. In this late 15th-century sculpture group in Glencairn’s Great Hall, the Virgin Mary, on the left, holds a rosary with a cross, while Elizabeth touches her cousin’s womb. According to Luke, Elizabeth exclaims, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” (1:42). This group may have been made for a private chapel in France dedicated to Saint John the Baptist or Saint Elizabeth. https://bit.ly/2LWBYWt -- source link
