The Visitation
Standing outside on a porch the Virgin and St. Elizabeth embrace. When St. Elizabeth visited the Virgin, two worlds met- the old represented by the prophets, of whom John the Baptist was the last, and the new represented by Christ, who brought the era of grace. In their embrace the two woman bridge the gap between the Old and the New Testaments. Even though the Virgin is the younger woman, St. Elizabeth bows respectfully as a sign of deference to Mary's holiness.
