medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 31. May (including The Visitation; St. Petronilla; St. Hermias; Sts. Cantius, Cantianus, and Cantianilla; St. Silvius of Toulouse; Ven. [but now St.] Camilla Battista da Varano):

Further to The Visitation:
In that earlier post's notice of this feast, the depiction linked to as item k) should have been identified as being in a manuscript housed in Avignon's
Bibliothèque-Mediathèque Municipale Ceccano.
A few further Visitations:
a) Mosaic (earlier sixth-century; carefully restored, 1890-1900) in the apse of the basilica Eufrasiana in Poreč:

In this scene, who's the child? According to Luke, neither Mary nor Elizabeth had given birth at the time of the Visitation.
b) Fresco (eleventh-century) in the cathedral of St. Sofia in Kyiv / Kiev:

e) Fresco (1330s; the Visitation at left) in the vault of the diaconicon (a.k.a. chapel of St. John the Forerunner) of the church of the Hodegetria in the Patriarchate of Peć at Peć in, depending on one's view of the matter, either Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija or the Republic of Kosovo:

In 2011 Gordon Plumb posted links to twelfth- to fifteenth-century Visitations in stained glass:

Further to Petronilla:
In the third paragraph of that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to a view of her entry in the painted calendar at Bominaco no longer functions. Use this instead (where, unfortunately, the photographer's name overlays Petronilla's):

In the fourth paragraph of same notice, for 'Petronilla healing the sick and serving at table' please read 'Petronilla serving at table; Petronilla sleeping (and appearing to be ill)'.
In the same paragraph, the link to Petronilla's martyrdom as depicted in a copy from 1419 of the Elsässische Legenda Aurea (Heidelberg, Universitätsbibliothek, Cod. Pal. germ. 144, fol. 385r) no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Cantius, Cantianus, and Cantianilla:
In the final paragraph of that earlier post's notice these saints, the link to the first of two English-language accounts of the church of St. Cantianus in Kranj no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://www.gothicmed.es/browsable/en/Church-of-St-Cantianus.html
Further to Silvius of Toulouse:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to a particular view of the exterior of the chapelle Saint-Sylve in the chevet of Toulouse's basilique Saint-Sernin no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://tinyurl.com/7ul2hgp
In this better view the chapel is the first one at left:

Further to Camilla Battista da Varano:
In the lemma to that earlier post's notice of this saint, add after 'Camilla' her name in religion 'Battista' to reflect the nomenclature used in her canonization; for 'Ven.' now read 'St.'
In the same notice's third paragraph, for 'will be canonized this coming 17. October' now read 'was canonized on 17. October 2010'.
At the end of the same notice's fourth paragraph, add this larger view of Camilla's display reliquary:
