Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p The O Antiphons are Magnificat antiphons used at Vespers of the last seven days of Advent in Western Christian traditions. They are referred to as the "O Antiphons" because the title of each one begins with the interjection "O". Each antiphon is a name of Christ, one of his attributes mentioned in Scripture. They are: December 17: O Sapientia (O Wisdom) December 18: O Adonai (O Lord) December 19: O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse) December 20: O Clavis David (O Key of David) December 21: O Oriens (O Dayspring) December 22: O Rex Gentium (O King of the nations) December 23: O Emmanuel (O With Us is God)In the Roman Catholic tradition, the O Antiphons are sung or recited at Vespers from December 17 to December 23 inclusive (but see note below on the alternative English usage). In the Church of England they have held pride of place by inclusion in the Kalendar of The Book of Common Prayer where the first antiphon O Sapientia is noted on December 16 . By Anglican tradition the O Antiphons have been used as antiphons to the Magnificat at Evening Prayer during this period beginning on 16 December. Although the texts are not printed in The Book of Common Prayer, they are found in the English Hymnal and the New English Hymnal. More recently the texts have been printed in primary liturgical documents throughout the Anglican Communion, including the Church of England's supplementary Common Worship liturgy where the Roman Catholic dating is preferred to the English Mediaeval tradition. Use of the O Antiphons also occurs in many Lutheran churches. In the Book of Common Worship published by the Presbyterian Church (USA), the antiphons can be read as a praise litany at Morning or Evening Prayer. The hymn O come, O come, Emmanuel (in Latin, Veni Emmanuel) is a lyrical paraphrase of these antiphons. The first letters of the titles taken backwards form a Latin acrostic of "Ero Cras" which translates to "Tomorrow, I will be there", mirroring the theme of the antiphons.. }
