Today the Church celebrates the feast of The Visitation, when we remember the visit of Mary to her elder cousin, Elizabeth. Both women were pregnant through God’s grace; Mary being a young virgin and Elizabeth a woman past child-bearing age. At their meeting, Mary recites a prayer of thanks to the Lord, the prayer is now known as the Magnificat and is used to this day in Anglican church services, especially Evensong.



‘My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded: the lowliness of his handmaiden: For behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his Name.’
