A Hymn of Devotion: Celebrating the Queen of Heaven
The song 'Mãe dos Jubilantes' by Igreja Nossa Senhora do Paraíso - Paraíso do Tobias, Miracema RJ, is a heartfelt hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary, often referred to as the Queen of Heaven. The lyrics are imbued with deep reverence and adoration, reflecting the Catholic tradition of venerating Mary as a central figure in the faith. The song opens with a salutation to Mary, acknowledging her as the 'mother of jubilants' and inviting the faithful to join the angels in offering crowns and praises to her.
