Hail Mary

Christian prayer to the Virgin Mary, most frequently used by Roman Catholics. It takes its name from the archangel Gabriel's salutation to Mary when announcing that she would be the mother of the Messiah (Luke 11:28). In Roman Catholic and some Anglican churches, the reciting of the rosary includes 150 Hail Marys.
