The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Marian litany originally approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V. It is also known as the Litany of Loreto (Latin: Litaniae lauretanae), after its first-known place of origin, the Shrine of Our Lady of Loreto (Italy), where its usage was recorded as early as 1558.
The litany contains many of the titles used formally and informally for the Virgin Mary, and would often be recited as a call and response chant in a group setting. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary has also been set to music[1] by composers such as Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Marc-Antoine Charpentier (nine settings) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (who composed two settings),[2] Jan Dismas Zelenka,[3] Joseph Auer,[4] and Johannes Habert.[5]
A partial indulgence is granted to those who recite this litany.[6]
