The Meeting at the Golden Gate

In the middle ages the standard representation of the fact of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady was the meeting of St Anne and St Joachim at the Golden Gate.

Here are some depictions of that event in medieval stained glass, posted by the Rev Gordon Plumb on the Medieval Religion discussion group; all of them date from the end of the fifteenth or the very beginning of the sixteenth century:
