July 2- Visitation of Our Blessed Lady


2nd Cl., white

The Feast of the Visitation was instituted for the whole world in the year 1389 by Pope Urban IV. It recalls the visit of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. The circumstances of her visit are described in today's gospel, especially the sanctification of St. John the Baptist in his mother's womb.
