Product Description
The Second Joyful Mystery – The Visitation plaque depicts the events of Luke 1:39-56, a most remarkable encounter, so intimately familial and yet of such great import for the human race: Mary, pregnant with the Messiah, travels to visit her cousin Elizabeth, pregnant with the herald of the Messiah. This dolomite plaque of the Visitation is a vivid depiction of this amazing encounter between two very pregnant women, whose unborn sons will change human history forever. The Visitation plaque – along with all 19 of the other Mysteries of the Rosary plaques – is a beautiful gift for a convent, school, monastery, retreat house, chapel, or hospital.
The Visitation Plaque – An Impressive Labor of Love, Faith, and Hope
The Visitation Plaque measures 8.25 inches high, 6.75 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. It is designed to hang easily on any wall in office, home, school, or chapel. A community of cloistered religious sisters designed this, fashion it from dolomite stone and resin, and finish it by hand in the atelier of their monastery in France. Each sisters is a true contemplative in action who prayerfully completes a specific task required to bring each plaque to completion. How, where, and by whom the Visitation Plaque is made means that it is indeed profoundly ”culturally authentic” – and a most impressive labor of love, faith and hope!
Mary’s Subversive Song of Praise – The Magnificat
The Visitation seems like such an innocent and unassuming event: one pregnant woman visits her older, also pregnant cousin, now close to giving birth. But this event is laden with meaning and import. Still in the womb, John the Baptist leaps for joy when Jesus, also still in the womb, draws near. The baby’s kick elicit’s Elizabeth’s question to Mary. Mary, in response, sings the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) – undoubtedly the most subversive song of God’s praise in human history: The world and its values will be upended! The rulers, the rich, the proud, the rich are now rejected! The poor, the hungry, the humble are now lifted up! The Kingdom of God is near! No, it is already here, gestating, ready to be born…

Luke 1:39-56
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 the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
And Mary said:
My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
