This sculpture in Glencairn’s Great Hall, from 15th-century France, depicts the Visitation, the story from the Gospel of Luke where Elizabeth learns of Mary’s miraculous pregnancy: “And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!’” (Luke 1:41-42) http://ow.ly/EXuyq http://ow.ly/EXuE4 -- source link
