What did the Angel of the Lord said to Mary?
This is what the bible says, "And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." Luke 1:28
Notice that the Biblical text does not say, "Hail Mary full of grace..." This is the Catholic and Orthodox misinterpretation of the Greek text.
God gave this special honor to Mary to bear the Messiah. To Grace...not "full of grace."
God gave this special honor to Mary to bear the Messiah. To Grace...not "full of grace."
It was God induing Mary with this special honor of giving birth to the Messiah. Mary was not full of grace but rather highly favored.
The Bible says that Jesus was full of grace and truth, not Mary.
It is written, And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. Luke 1:29
Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ has been accorded a special place of devotion especially in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.

Both.
The "Ave Maria" is the "Hail Mary" prayer in Latin:
Ave Maria, gratia plena
Hail Mary, full of grace
Dominus tecum
The Lord is with thee
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Blessed art thou among women
Et benedictus fructus ventris tuae, Jesus.
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Ave Maria, Mater Dei,
Holy Mary, mother of God,
Ora ora pro nobis peccatoribus
pray for us sinners
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae,
now and at the hour of our death,
Amen.
Franz Schubert's version is the most popular.
With love in Christ.
