Feast Day May 31 - the Visitation of Mary to her Cousin Elizabeth when St. John Leaped in his Mother's Womb!

the The Visitation of Mary to her Cousin Elizabeth is celebrated on May 31st. During the encounter St. John the Baptist leaped in his mother's womb! Assuming that the Annunciation and the Incarnation took place about the vernal equinox, Mary left Nazareth at the end of March and went over the mountains to Hebron, south of Jerusalem, to wait upon her cousin Elizabeth, because her presence and much more the presence of the Divine Child in her womb, according to the will of God, was to be the source of very great graces to the Blessed John, Christ's Forerunner.
