Describing the Virgin Mary's witnessing of the Crucifixion, the hymn ''Stabat Mater dolorosa'' was well known to all classes by the end of the fourteenth century and inspired a number of imitations. After a period of neglect following the Council of Trent, it was revised and in 1727 assigned as the {{CiteCat|Sequence hymns|sequence}} (in mode 2) for Friday of the {{CiteCat|Lent V|fifth week of Lent}} and the {{CiteCat|Our Lady of Sorrows|Sorrows of Mary}} (Sept. 15). A different strophic tune appeared in the 1661 [https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb10590277?page=326,327 ''Mainz Gesangbuch'' p. 298] and is often heard at [[Stations of the Cross]]. Although the aabccb rhyme scheme might suggest 1a, 1b, 2a &c, the verse numbering 1-20 is found in the ''[[Liber Usualis]]'' and other books.

The opening words of two companion hymns, one of which (Stabat Mater Dolorosa) is in liturgical use, while the other (Stabat Mater Speciosa) is not. They celebrate the emotions of Our Lady at the Cross and at the Manger -- Calvary and Bethlehem -- respectively.


==Stabat mater dolorosa==
The ''Stabat Mater dolorosa'' is thought to originate from Franciscan sources in the 13th century. The Franciscan friar [[Jacopone da Todi]] (ca. 1230-1306), Pope Innocentius III (ca. 1160-1216), and Saint Bonaventura (died 1274) are named as the most probable poet, but also the Popes Gregorius and John XII and Bernhard of Clairveaux (died 1135) are mentioned. Of these ascriptions, the only probable ones are those to Innocent III and Jacopone.
The hymn was well known to all classes by the end of the fourteenth century.
The Stabat Mater Dolorosa is thought to originate from Franciscan sources in the 13th century. The monk Jacopone da Todi (ca. 1228-1306), Pope Innocentius III (ca. 1160-1216), and the saint Bonaventura (died 1274) are named as the most probable poet, but also the Popes Gregorius and John XII and Bernhard of Clairveaux (died 1135) are mentioned. Of these ascriptions, the only probable ones are those to Innocent III and Jacopone.


==Stabat mater speciosa==
A Christmas counterpart, which describes the joy of Maria at the cradle of Jesus, is described at at ''[[Stabat Mater speciosa]]''.
This is a counterpart version of the poem, which describes the joy of Maria after the birth of Jesus. It is clearly based on one of the "Dolorosa"-versions, but the rhyming is certainly not as good. Nevertheless, the "Speciosa" dates back from the fifteenth century and has also been put to music, for instance  by [[Liszt]] and  Diepenbrock.
It was first published in an edition of the Italian poems of Jacopone published at Brescia in 1495 (but Jacopone isn't thought to be the author) but the Speciosa fell into almost complete oblivion until A.F. Ozanam transcribed it from a fifteenth-century manuscript in the Bibliothèque Nationale for his ''Poètes Franciscains en Italie au Treizième siècle'', Paris, 1852.

Mater Dolorosa became an iconic type, as in this painting by Titian.

Describing the Virgin Mary's witnessing of the Crucifixion, the hymn Stabat Mater dolorosa was well known to all classes by the end of the fourteenth century and inspired a number of imitations. After a period of neglect following the Council of Trent, it was revised and in 1727 assigned as the sequence (in mode 2) for Friday of the fifth week of Lent and the Sorrows of Mary (Sept. 15). A different strophic tune appeared in the 1661 Mainz Gesangbuch p. 298 and is often heard at Stations of the Cross. Although the aabccb rhyme scheme might suggest 1a, 1b, 2a &c, the verse numbering 1-20 is found in the Liber Usualis and other books.

The Stabat Mater dolorosa is thought to originate from Franciscan sources in the 13th century. The Franciscan friar Jacopone da Todi (ca. 1230-1306), Pope Innocentius III (ca. 1160-1216), and Saint Bonaventura (died 1274) are named as the most probable poet, but also the Popes Gregorius and John XII and Bernhard of Clairveaux (died 1135) are mentioned. Of these ascriptions, the only probable ones are those to Innocent III and Jacopone.

A Christmas counterpart, which describes the joy of Maria at the cradle of Jesus, is described at at Stabat Mater speciosa.

English.png English translation

1. At the cross her station keeping,
stood the mournful mother weeping,
close to Jesus to the last.

2. Through her soul, of joy bereaved,
bowed with anguish, deeply grieved,
now at length the sword hath passed.

3. Oh how sad and sore distressed
was that mother highly blessed,
of the sole-begotten One!

4. Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying glorious Son.

5. Is there one who would not weep,
Whelm'd in miseries so deep
Christ's dear Mother to behold?

6. Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?

7. Bruis'd, derided, curs'd, defil'd,
She beheld her tender child
All with bloody scourges rent.

8. For the sins of His own nation,
Saw Him hang in desolation,
Till His spirit forth He sent.

9. O thou Mother! fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above;
Make my heart with thine accord.

10. Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ our Lord.

11. Holy Mother! pierce me through;
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Saviour crucified.

12. Let me share with thee His pain,
Who for all my sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.

13. Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him who mourn'd for me,
All the days that I may live.

14. By the cross with thee to stay,
There with thee to weep and pray,
Is all I ask of thee to give.

15. Virgin of all virgins best,
Listen to my fond request
Let me share thy grief divine.

16. Let me, to my latest breath,
In my body bear the death
Of that dying Son of thine.

17. Wounded with His every wound,
Steep my soul till it hath swoon'd
In His very blood away.

18. Be to me, O Virgin, nigh,
Lest in flames I burn and die,
In His awful Judgment day.

19. Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence,
Be Thy Mother my defence,
Be Thy cross my victory. [this verse does not translate the Latin v. 19]

20. While my body here decays,
May my soul Thy goodness praise,
Safe in Paradise with Thee.
(tr. Edward Caswall, Lyra Catholica 1851)

junto da cruz, lacrimosa,
via o filho que pendia.

enterrou-se a dura espada
de uma antiga profecia.

entre todas, Mãe bendita,
que só tinha aquele Filho.

4. Quanta angústia não sentia,
Mãe piedosa quando via
as penas do Filho seu!

contemplando a Mãe de Cristo
num suplício tão enorme?

6. Quem haverá que resista
se a Mãe assim se contrista
padecendo com seu Filho?

7. Por culpa de sua gente
vira Jesus inocente
ao flagelo submetido.

que às chamas não seja entregue
quem por ti é defendido.

daí-me ó Cristo conseguir,
por vossa Mãe a vitória.

18. Infiammato ed acceso,
per tua intercessione, Vergine,
sia io difeso nel giorno del giudizio.

19. Fa' che sia protetto dalla croce,
fortificato dalla morte di Cristo,
confortato dalla grazia.

20. Quando il corpo morirà,
fa' che all'anima sia donata
la gloria del paradiso. Amen.

Latin.png Latin text

1. Stabat Mater dolorosa
Juxta crucem lacrimosa
Dum pendebat Filius.

2. Cujus animam gementem
Contristantem et dolentem
Pertransivit gladius.

3. O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater unigeniti!

4. Quae maerebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater, dum videbat
Poenas nati incliti.

5. Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
In tanto supplicio?

6. Quis non potest contristari,
Christi Matrem contemplari
Dolentem cum Filio?

7. Eia Mater, fons amoris
Me sentire vim doloris
Fac, ut tecum lugeam.

8. Fac, ut ardeat cor meum
In amando Christum Deum
Ut sibi complaceam.

9. Stabat Mater, rubens rosa,
Juxta crucem lacrimosa,
Videns ferre criminosa,
Nullum reum crimine.

10. Et dum stetit generosa
Juxta crucem lacrimosa,
Plebs tunc canit clamorosa,
"Crucifige, crucifige!"

11. O quam gravis illa poena,
Tibi, Virgo poenae plena,
Commemorans praeamoena,
Jam versa in maestitiam.

12. Color erat non inventus
In te, Mater, dum detentus
Stabat natus, sic contentus
Ad debellandum Sathanam.

13. Per haec nata praeamata,
Natum tuum qui peccata,
Delet cuncta perpetrata,
Deprecare dulciflue.

14. Ut nostra, tergens ingrata,
In nobis plantet firme grata,
Per quem dando praelibata,
Praestet aeterna requie. Amen.

The grieving Mother
 stood weeping beside the cross
 where her Son was hanging.
Through her weeping soul,
 compassionate and grieving,
 a sword passed.

O how sad and afflicted
 was that blessed Mother
 of the only-begotten,
who mourned and grieved,
 seeing and bearing the torment
 of her glorious child.

Who is it that would not weep,
 seeing Christ’s Mother
 in such agony?
Who could not feel compassion
 on beholding the Holy Mother
 suffering with her Son?

O Mother, fountain of love,
 make me feel the power of sorrow,
 that I may grieve with you.
Grant that my heart may burn
 in the love of Christ my God,
 that I may greatly please Him.

The Mother stood, a red rose,
 weeping beside the cross,
 seeing Him bear a criminal’s fate
 who was guilty of no crime.

And as she stood,
 full of heart,
 grieving beside her son,
 the people cried, “Crucify, crucify!”

O how grievous was your pain,
 Virgin full of sorrows,
 when you recalled
 former joys now turned to sadness.

There was no colour in you, Mother,
 when your Son stood detained,
 yet content at Satan’s overthrow.

Hence, best-beloved Lady,
 beseech your Son,
 who takes away all the sins we have committed,
 with sweet prayer,

that, wiping away our faults,
 He might plant grace in us,
 and fulfil this promise
 in our eternal rest. Amen.
