Schlom Lecht Maryam.

In honor of today's Solemnity of the Annunciation, I am posting this chant. This is the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) in Syriac, a dialect of Arabic, the language spoken by Jesus and Mary. The Hail Mary is taken mainly from the angel Gabriel's words to Mary at the Annunciation in the Gospel of Luke.
