The Visitation
ca. 1310–20
Attributed to Master Heinrich of Constance
The Visitation, a limestone sculpture with traces of polychrome dated c. 1525 and attributed to Nicolas Halins, is one of the most beautiful pieces of art in the church of Saint-Jean-au-Marché. It depicts the visit of Mary, who was pregnant with Jesus, to Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist. They wear Renaissance clothing of great complexity, with much-admired folds and embroidery on the two dresses. The sculptor added details of surprising precision, including a purse and a set of keys on Elizabeth’s belt, a prayer book in Mary’s hand, and a thread of pearls in her hair.

Collect for Rogation Monday
Almighty God, Lord of heaven and earth: We humbly pray that thy gracious providence may give and preserve to our use the harvests of the land and of the seas, and may prosper all who labor to gather them, that we, who constantly receive good things from thy hand, may always give thee thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Amen.
