Mary, the Visitation, and the Magnificat: Part 1

(Image-Champaigne’s “Visitation” courtesy of Wikipedia)

Comparative religion is an aspect of the humanities that offers critical insights into the human experience.  In recognition of the upcoming holiday, we turn to the Institute for Christian and Jewish Studies for a two-part series reflecting on Mary's visit to her cousin Elizabeth prior to giving birth, and the Magificant,  Mary's song of praise.

The ICJS is a non-profit that addresses the contemporary challenges of religious pluralism.  In today's segment, Dr. Heather Miller Rubens, Roman Catholic Scholar at ICJS, contemplates Mary's spiritual journey.
