Product Description
The Visitation of Mary (Luke 1:39-56) is an encounter so intimately domestic and yet of such momentous import for all of humanity: Mary, pregnant with Jesus the Messiah, visits her older cousin Elizabeth, pregnant with John the Baptist, the Messiah’s herald. This round bronze plaque – a simple but powerful depiction of the meeting of two pregnant women, whose not-yet-born sons will transform human history radically and definitively – is a lovely gift, pregnant with meaning in its own right!
A Round Bronze Wall Plaque in Two Sizes

A notch on the back of the plaque allows for easy placement plaque on any wall in chapel, home or office. Conceived and cast in Germany by one of the world’s great goldsmiths, this solid bronze plaque is a great gift to enhance any room with beauty and spiritual radiance.
The Magnificat – Mary’s Subversive Song of Praise
The Visitation seems so mundane and innocuous: one pregnant woman, close to birth, is visited by her younger cousin, also pregnant. But this encounter is filled with world-changing significance: John the Baptist leaps for joy in Elizabeth’s womb at the approach of Jesus in Mary’s womb. Elizabeth feels the baby’s kick and welcomes Mary’s arrival. Mary responds by singing the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) – the most subversive praise of God in humanity’s long bloody history of violence and domination: The world and its lust for power is turned upside down! The proud, the rich, the rulers are cast down! The humble, the hunger, the poor are raised up! The Kingdom of God is coming! Nay, it is already here, gestating, close to birth…
Luke 1:39-56
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said,
My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
