THE DAY OF MARY’S VISITATION1. The meaning of this festival has not been understood even though it has been celebrated under the papacy for several hundred years, along with the singing of the Magnificat in all the churches. That is why we must preach about the reason for the observance, so that we have a correct understanding of this special day and how to observe it.
