About Ave Regina Coelorum
Hail, Queen of Heaven, Hail, Lady of the Angels. This ancient Latin votive antiphon addresses Mary as the Queen of Heaven and Lady of the Angels, praising her as the root and gate from which the world's light arose. It rejoices in her glorious beauty, surpassing all others, and pleads with her to pray for us to Christ. Sung in unison, this sacred chant is a direct and devotional expression of Marian praise, its simple yet profound text resonating through centuries of Christian tradition.
