| Summary: | In his “Structure et théologie de Luc I-II” from 1957, René Laurentin advanced the view that the figure of Mary is to be interpreted as a new Ark of the Covenant in the scene of the Visitation (Luke 1:39-56).

In the present paper, it is shown that recent observations according to which the embryo in Mary’s womb is to be identified as yhwh Himself offer new evidence for Laurentin’s thesis.
