1. The Jewish people left Egypt with Moses as their guide in Exodus. "Exodus" means a massive amount of people leaving all at once. They left because they were slaves in Egypt and God wanted His Chosen People to be free.
2. The Tilma of Juan Diego is in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico, just north of Mexico City. (The Blessed Mother appeared to St. Juan Diego and instructed him to build a church on the hill -- she gave him roses as a sign to the bishop, which he carried in his tilma, sort of a poncho woven out of plant fibers. When he gave the roses to the bishop, the image of Our Lady was colored on his tilma, which is cited as a miracle. The colors remain just as bright today and the fabric has not deteriorated, even though it ought to have fallen apart decades ago.)
3. Hail means "greeting" or "hello" or "hey, there!" This first line of the prayer is a quote from Luke 1:28, when the angel greeted Mary.

Exodus deals with the Israelites captivity in Egypt, and Moses leading them out of captivity.
never heard of Tilma
go to dictionary.com for the definition of Hail

1. The Isrealites left Egypt after slaves to the Egyptians for hundreds of years. They left after Moses, under divine order and guidance, led them out.
2. The Tilma of Juan Deigo in in the Cathedral of Our lady og Guadalupe in Mexico.
3. "Hail" is a saluation given to someone of whom there is a high respect. It is a greeting similar to saying "hello" to someone, but more proper.

Just write: "There is no god." and you'll get an A+. Your homework is a trick and you're already failing it.
