Ave Maria
Jordan Smith performs a live rendition of the classic Latin prayer "Ave Maria" during the 'Tis The Season event. The song is a traditional Catholic hymn honoring the Virgin Mary, praising her as full of grace and blessed among women, and acknowledging Jesus as the fruit of her womb. While it is a Christian devotional piece, it focuses on Mary rather than direct worship of God. The performance is reverent and solemn, reflecting the Christmas season's celebration of the incarnation.
[Jordan Smith:]
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Ave, Ave, Dominus,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus,
Et benedictus fructus ventris,
Ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria!
[Maria Aleida:]
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Ave, Ave, Dominus,
Dominus tecum.
[Together:]
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus,
Et benedictus fructus ventris,
Ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria!
