History of Hail Mary in Timeline
The Hail Mary, also known as the Ave Maria or Angelic Salutation, is a traditional Catholic prayer centered on Mary, the mother of Jesus. The prayer's foundation lies in two key biblical events from the Gospel of Luke: the Angel Gabriel's annunciation to Mary and Mary's visit to Elizabeth. Rooted in these passages, the Hail Mary serves as both a prayer of praise for Mary and a petition for her intercession. The prayer has evolved over time, particularly since the 16th century, with the Catholic Church's version concluding with a request for Mary's intercession. The prayer's form varies across different Christian traditions, and it has inspired numerous musical settings.
