The angel's greeting to the Mother of God begins with the words "Ave Maria, gratia plena" ("Hail Mary, full of grace") when he brings the heavenly message to Mary, who lives in Nazareth and is engaged to Joseph: namely, that she is to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The text, based on the Gospel of Luke, has become a widespread prayer that believers like to address to the Mother of God to invoke her intercession or to express their thanks.
