visitations
Official scheduled appearances
Visitations is the plural of visitation, a formal or official visit.
In legal contexts, visitation refers to the right of a noncustodial parent to spend time with their child: The court granted him weekend visitations.
The word also describes supernatural appearances—an angel's visitation, a ghostly visitation.
In religious usage, a visitation may be a divine blessing or affliction sent from above.
