Stella maris fulget (Drama de la Asunción de Santa Maria de l'Estany, s.XIII)

Stella maris fulget
cuncti gaudete fideles.

Virgo parit florem,
nullum perpessa dolorem.
Gaudeat Eclesia
genuit quia Virgo Maria.




Luce la estrella del mar,
alegraos, fieles todos.
La Virgen parió una flor,
sin sufrir ningun dolor.
Que la iglesia se alegre,
porque la Virgen María dio a luz.




Assumption play of Santa Maria de l'Estany (13th century)

The star of the sea shines bright,
rejoice all ye faithful!
A Virgin has given birth to a flower,
suffering no pain.
Let the church rejoice,
for the Virgin Mary has given birth.

@jwoodman Yes. At least until recently were allowed visits.

Is the monastery of Sta Maria de l'Estany open to the public?

[sh4m69]

@jwoodman The monastery of Santa Maria de l'Estany is a contemporary of Moissac. In addition, the two are Romanesque style, there are always some similarities.

Fantastic. Best possible images for someone surrounded by snow and ice on the island. Cloisters remind me a little of Moissac.
