Heimsuchung
**Heimsuchung** (German for "Visitation") refers to the biblical event in which the Virgin Mary, pregnant with Jesus, visits her relative Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. Upon Mary's greeting, Elizabeth recognizes Mary as "the mother of my Lord," and Mary responds with the hymn of praise known as the *Magnificat* (Luke 1:39–56).
