Ein Karem - Mary's Spring

More from Ein Karem, Israel . . .

Between the Church of St. John the Baptist and the Church of the Visitation, there is a spring called the "Virgin Spring" or "Mary's Spring" by the pilgrims of the fourteenth century.

According to tradition, it was here that Mary met her cousin Elizabeth and sang a hymn of praise (the Magnificat), a song of gratitude to God.
