The Magnificat is the hymn of praise sung by the Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke 1:46-55. Its name comes from the first Latin word, “Magnificat,” meaning “it praises,” and it is also known as the Canticle of Mary. This prayer is a central part of Christian liturgy, particularly in Vespers (evening prayer) #stagnesgt #wearestagnes #goodlyheritage | St. Agnes Anglican Church
