Bogurodzica - Mother of God

Bogurodzica , in English known as the Mother of God, is a medieval Roman Catholic hymn composed sometime between the 10th and 13th centuries in Poland. It is believed to be the oldest religious hymn in Polish language and first anthem of Poland, which was traditionally sung in Old Polish with the Greek phrase Kyrie eleison – “Lord, have mercy“. Polish knights chanted Bogurodzica prior to their engagement at the Battle of Grunwald and it also accompanied the coronation ceremonies of the Polish kings.
