In fact, traditionally, the Visitations' date is the 2 of July. It was
instituted first in the urbanistic side of the great Schism, then again by
the Council of Basle, which gave it a proper office whose very beautyful
texts where composed by Thomas of Courcelle, former Assessor in the trial
against St Jeanne d'Arc, later main advocate of her rehabilitation (!). The
music for the office was a contrafactum of the office for Corpus Christi.
In the Diocese of Geneva the feast was displaced to the 9th of June, in
order to manage the octave of St Peter and Paul, Peter being the patron of
the town.

The Legenda Aurea says she died of a natural death, true: she invoked it in
order to escape marriage. In the pre-vat.II breviary she is only Virgin, not
Martyr. The Old Roman Antiphoner of St Peter has a proper responsory and
Benedictus Antiphon.
Avec mes meilleures salutations
