> The feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary celebrates the pregnant Mary's visit with her kinswoman Elizabeth, then pregnant with St. John the Forerunner (Lk 1:39-56). In 1369 pope Urban VI, in a decree published by his successor Boniface IX, established the feast for the Roman church and fixed its date on 2. July (the day used for another Marian feast in Constantinople's church of the Theotokos at Blachernae). Nonetheless, in the later Middle Ages it appears on calendars under a number of different dates. 2. July remained the feast's day in the general Roman Calendar until the latter's revision promulgated in 1969, when it was moved to today. In an exception to that calendar, Roman Catholics in Germany continue to celebrate this feast on 2. July. So do German Lutherans. Some churches in the Anglican Communion celebrate the Visitation on 2. July; others celebrate it today. In Byzantine-rite churches this feast is ordinarily not celebrated. The Syriac Orthodox Church celebrates it on the fourth Sunday before Christmas.
