Latin text Assumpta est Maria in cœlum: |
{{Translation|English| Mary is taken up into heaven: The Angels rejoice; joyfully they bless the Lord. The Virgin Mary is taken up to the heavenly marriage chamber in which the King of kings sits upon his starry throne. We run to the fragrance of your ointments: the young women have loved you greatly. Blessed are you by the Lord, O daughter, for through you, we have received the fruit of life. Amen. |
