Marian Prayers
Ave Regina Caelorum
The Marian antiphon traditionally sung from the Presentation of the Lord until Holy Week.
Hail, O Queen of Heaven enthroned! Hail, by angels Mistress owned! Root of Jesse, Gate of morn, whence the world's true Light was born: Glorious Virgin, joy to thee, loveliest whom in heaven they see; fairest thou where all are fair, plead with Christ our sins to spare.
Seasonal Marian antiphon, medieval
About the prayer
Its medieval text joins Old Testament images — the Root of Jesse and the gate through which light enters — to the Christian confession that Christ is the true Light.
