Children will read the story of the visitation.

Look at the text and highlight the words and phrases in the story which show how Elizabeth welcomed and recognised the presence of Jesus in the womb of Mary.

Children to “hot-seat” both Elizabeth and Mary and ask questions about what happened at their meeting. What would you really want to know from Elizabeth and Mary about this special event?

Write a postcard from Mary to Joseph, explaining what had happened at the meeting with Elizabeth.
