Robert Anning Bell, The Women going to the sepulcher, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1912

Sunday is the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene.  Here are versions of Dum Transisset.


Dum transisset sabbatum Maria Magdalene, et Maria Jacobi et Salome emerunt aromata. Ut venientes ungerent Jesum. Alleluja. Et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum orto jam sole. Ut venientes ungerent Jesum. Alleluja. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.


When the Sabbath came, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome brought spices for anointing Jesus. Alleluia. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
