'''Salve Regina/Hail Holy Queen'''
Hail Holy Queen, mother of mercy;
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
to you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us.
And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus!
O clement, o loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

{{summary | text=Prayers or devotions to Mary are important to many [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholics]], [[Anglo-Catholicism|High Anglicans]], [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Oriental Orthodoxy|Oriental Orthodox]] Christians. Most Protestants reject Marian prayers as improper, arguing that Marian devotion is akin to worship. Catholics and Orthodox retort that this is not worship but merely veneration. The earliest known Marian prayer is [[Deipara, Dei Genetrix]], from the fifth century AD, with words "We you for protection, holy Mother of God." Probably the most well known Marian prayer is the [[Hail Mary]] which is part of the [[Rosary]].}}
