Sanctus

The Sanctus is a hymn or song from Christian liturgy, often part of the Eucharistic prayer in Mass. It translates to "Holy," reflecting the praise of God's holiness. The Sanctus typically involves singers or the congregation joining in singing "Holy, holy, holy" to honor God's majesty and glory. Its origins trace back to ancient Jewish and Christian worship, emphasizing reverence and the divine nature of God. The hymn serves both as a recognition of God's sacredness and a prelude to the consecration of bread and wine in Eucharist rituals.
