Product additional information
“Sacris solemniis” is a 13th-century Latin liturgical hymn written by the Dominican theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas. Composed around 1264 at the request of Pope Urban IV, it was created specifically for the Matins office of the newly instituted Feast of Corpus Christi (the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ).
The hymn explores the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist, poetically recounting the Last Supper and explaining the concept of transubstantiation—the changing of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ.
The hymn is universally recognized because its sixth (penultimate) strophe begins with the words “Panis angelicus”.
