Hail Mary

I used to think this was Angel Gabriel's style of saying-- Hey! :) But I learned it's because royalty is often addressed that way! Think of the song in the intro of Sleeping Beauty, to lil Aurora She was hailed! Then gifted by Fauna, Merryweather, & Flora. The phrase is noticeable online with Queen Elizabeth's passing And when said with reverence, it is not in the least bit sassing How blessed it must feel, for a lady, to have Hail lovingly said! Blessed among women was Mary, whom the Holy Spirit wed. :)
