Шаблон:Catholic marian prayers sidebar Avé de Fátima (English: Fátima Ave), also known as the Fátima Hymn, is a popular Roman Catholic Marian hymn. It is sung in honour of Our Lady of Fátima, a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children at Cova da Iria, in Fátima, Portugal.

The hymn was written in August 1929 by Portuguese poet Afonso Lopes Vieira and it was first published, anonymously ("by a Servite"), in the 13 September 1929 issue of the religious periodical Voz da Fátima.[1][2] Lopes Vieira had witnessed what he later identified as the Miracle of the Sun on 13 October 1917 from the balcony of his house in São Pedro de Moel (about 50 kilometers from Fátima), alongside his wife and mother-in-law. The month he wrote the hymn, August, 1929, coincides with the conclusion of a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Fátima that Lopes Vieira had built in the house.[2] The original version of the Avé de Fátima, sent to José Alves Correia da Silva, Bishop of Leiria, was set to a tune by Francisco de Lacerda.[2]

Versions

There are several versions of the hymn in use in different parts of the world; the adaptations in different languages are set to the same tune, theme, and refrain. What follows are two English-language versions:[3]

The thirteenth of May
In the Cova d'Iria
Appeared, oh so brilliant,
The Virgin Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
The Virgin Maria
Encircled with light,
Our own dearest Mother
And heaven's delight.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
To three little shepherds
Our Lady appeared
The light of Her grace
To Her Son souls endeared
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
With war and its evils
The whole world was seething
And countless of thousands
Were mourning and weeping.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
To save all poor souls
Who had wandered astray,
With words of sweet comfort
She asked us to pray.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
By honouring Mary
And loving Her Son
The peace of the world
Will most surely be won.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
In Fatima's Cove
On the thirteenth of May
The Virgin Maria
Appeared at midday
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
The Virgin Maria
Surrounded by light
God's mother is ours
For She gives us this sight.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
The world was then suffering
From war, plague and strife,
And Portugal mourned
For her great loss of life.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
To three shepherd children
The Virgin then spoke
A message so hopeful
With peace for all folk
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
With sweet Mother's pleading
She asked us to pray.
Do penance, be modest,
The Rosary each day.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
All Portugal heard
What God's Mother did say,
Converted, it sings of
That Queen to this day.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
We all must remember
Our Lady's request
Do all that She asks for,
Obey Her behests.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
