GUEST,Phil d'Conch Lyr Req: Salve Regina questions (25) RE: Lyr Req: Salve Regina questions 19 Mar 20


More maritime angle discussion here: Maritime work song in general

“It was set down in its current form at the Abbey of Cluny in the 12th century, where it was used as a processional hymn on Marian feasts. The Cistercians chanted the Salve Regina daily from 1218. It was popular at medieval universities as evening song, and according to Fr. Juniper Carol, it came to be part of the ritual for the blessing of a ship. While the anthem figured largely in liturgical and in general popular Catholic devotion, it was especially dear to sailors.” [wiki]

If anyone should come across any maritime sources/references, please post them in one of the threads, tia.
