Regina Coeli is prayed at noon from Easter Sunday - Pentecost.
The Easter prayer Regina Coeli (“Queen of Heaven” in Latin) is a wonderful tribute to our Lord’s resurrection and to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Traditionally, it is prayed standing, often at noon, in place of another well-known prayer, the Angelus, during the Easter Season from Holy Saturday until Pentecost.
Pentecost Sunday, 23 May
Pentecost reminds us when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in the form of wind and tongues of fire.
