Regina caeli
Medieval hymn to Mary, mother of Jesus
Regina caeli
"Regina caeli" (Ecclesiastical Latin: [reˈdʒina ˈtʃeli]; Queen of Heaven) is a musical antiphon addressed to the Blessed Virgin Mary that is used in the liturgy of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church during the Easter season, from Easter Sunday until Pentecost. During this season, it is the Marian antiphon that ends Compline (Night Prayer) and it takes the place of the traditional thrice-daily Angelus prayer. In medieval sources, the text is spelled "Regina celi," as in the manuscript below. In the past, the spelling Regina coeli was sometimes used, but this spelling is no longer found in official liturgical books.
