This stone panel shows the Visitation. After the announcement from the angel Gabriel, Mary visits her cousin, Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. Gabriel is holding Mary's regal scepter as he stands behind her, while Isaiah, representing all of the Old Testament prophets, stands behind Elizabeth with a scroll in his hand that prophesies: "God is with us!"
The stone panel on the right shows the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The text is from John's Gospel.

  

Let's go to the third bay on the south side.
