Pascha Nostrum is a
hymn sometimes used by
Christians during
Easter season. The title is
Latin for "Our
Passover," and the text consists of the words of several verses of
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7–8, Romans 6:9–11, and 1 Corinthians 15:20–22. After the Reformation it was preserved (in an English translation) in the
Church of England's
Book of Common Prayer, appointed to be said in place of the
Venite at Morning Prayer on Easter Day. In some churches it may be used in place of the
Gloria in Excelsis during the Easter season, especially at the
Easter Vigil. It has been put to many different musical settings.
