MARY’S VISIT
TO COUSIN
ELIZABETH

L U K E
CHAPTER 1

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and ELIZABETH WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. BLESSED IS SHE WHO HAS BELIEVED that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

Bravo for the fine collection of images. I had the privilege of working in many nations of Europe, in which both the stained glass and wall paintings were being cared for and restored, specifically because, in a time of general illiteracy centuries ago, the stained glass, wall paintings and statuary all contributed to telling the stories which are the foundation of Western civilization, before denominations began to seemingly divide. The images tell magnificent stories and convey a power which tomes of theological work sometimes miss. Beautiful! Sometimes a picture is worth well more than a thousand words.

Kudos!

in a time of general illiteracy centuries ago

Even in a time of general literacy, the visual depictions of these stories have a profound impact. A picture is worth a thousand words ...

#29 is exceptionally beautiful

I am kind of surprised at the number of windows that have that Picasso style

interesting
I never really thought about that

I have only thought about the courage it took for Mary to return home...
being an unwed woman with child.

Massive courage, founded on faith-filled obedience. She is a stellar example and challenge for all of us.
