Description: The Ave Maria, also called salutatio angelica in Latin, is both an antiphon and one of the most widespread Marian prayers of the Western Catholic Church. The liturgical use of the first part of the Ave Maria dates from the 4th century. A 4th century papyrus found in Egypt in 1917 by the English scholar James Rendel Harris (1852-1941) contains the text of the invocation Sub tuum praesidium, the primitive core of the Ave Maria. This document is called Papyrus Rylands 470 and is kept in the John Rylands University Library in Manchester. The text is the primitive adaptation of the prayer to the Virgin, which will spread from Egypt through the two successive formulas: the eastern (Byzantine-Ambrosian) and the western (Alexandro-Roman).

Original text and translations

Latin text

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Domine tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

Dutch text

Wees gegroet, Maria, vol van genade,
De Heer is met U.
Gij zijt de gezegende onder de vrouwen,
En gezegend is Jesus, de vrucht van Uw schoot.
Heilige Maria, Moeder van God,
Bid voor ons zondaars,
Nu en in het uur van onze dood.
Amen.
