"Music of the Mass: Hymns to Mary" is a collection of eight (8) beautiful hymns and chants dedicated to the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ.

On January 1st, we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. This feast day of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated on the Octave (8th) day of Christmas and is a celebration of Mary being the mother of Jesus. The English title "Mother of God" is a literal translation of the Latin title “Mater Dei”, which in turn is a rendering of the Greek title “Θεοτόκος” (Theotokos), meaning "Bearer of God".

Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless!
