The Stabat Mater is a 13th-Century Christian Hymn to The Virgin Mary that portrays her suffering as Mother during the Crucifixion of her Son, Jesus Christ.
[Editor: A Verse of The Stabat Mater is sung after each Station of The Cross].
Its author may be either the Franciscan Friar, Jacopone da Todi, or, Pope Innocent III.[1][2][3]
The Title comes from its first line, “Stabat Mater Dolorosa”, which means “The Sorrowful Mother Stood”.[4]
