| Abstract [eng] |
Prayers and chants dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary in Samogitian funeral ceremonies from traditional and the present viewpoint have been explored very little. The performed research revealed that prayers and chants dedicated to the H oly V irgin Mary in Samogitian funeral ceremonies predominate in hymnals. Those are the traditional prayers: “Hail, Mary”, “Angel of The Lord” (“Angelus D omini”) “Hail, H oly Queen”, (“Salve, Regina”); chants “Hail, The N orthern Star”, “The crown of V irgin Mary’s afflictions and joys”, “The Mother was standing” (“Stabat Mater”), “The G racious Queen” and “The Mother of H eavenly King”. Also the new ones: “Oh Mary”, “Mary, be glorified” and “The name of Mary”. The results of research justify the hypothesis that was expressed in the beginning of our work: prayers and chants dedicated to Holy Virgin Mary in Samogitian funeral ceremonies change over time. |
