Feel the joy!

I saw this last night on a friend’s Facebook page and spent part of the morning trying, without success, to find the artist.  It may be the most striking, moving, uplifting and utterly human depiction of The Visitation I’ve ever seen.  As we prepare for Christ’s coming, shouldn’t we all be feeling this way?  This is Advent.

UPDATE: Well, part of the mystery of the picture’s origin has been solved. Searching in Google, I found the shot below, which I think may come from the film “The Nativity Story.”
