The Meeting of the Most Holy Theotokos and Saint Elizabeth.

Today we commemorate The Meeting of the Most Holy Theotokos and Saint Elizabeth.

After the miraculous conception of Saint John the Baptist by Saint Elizabeth, and the Annunciation to the Theotokos of the conception of the Lord Jesus, the two cousins met at Elizabeth’s home. When the Theotokos entered Elizabeth’s presence, John leapt in his mother’s womb with joy to be near the Savior and His Mother. . . . . for, even as an unborn babe not yet fully formed, the Lord was one of the Holy Trinity: fully God and fully man.
