EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
(2h)alt.HELLO MARY. GRACE OVERFLOW INSIDE-SELF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU MORE-THAN ANY WOMAN. PLUS GOD BLESS SON YOU GIVE-BIRTH-TO, HON.-INDEX JESUS.
Notes: (2h)alt.HELLO - alt. salute with (2h)[Bb].
MARY - [M] touches NDS temple, is drawn across forehead, and descends. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Mary - 1.
GRACE - [O^] or [S], held high and PO > Heaven, supinates and opens to [5] while being brought towards head. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Grace.
OVERFLOW - [5], PO down, FO away, covers top of [S], PO > DS, FO away, and FT wiggle as the hand moves away, like a cup overflowing.
INSIDE-SELF - The FT of [C] are held against the chest and stuff the FT of [O^] into the [C] twice.
MORE-THAN - (2h)[B^], touch FTs, then DH moves up in an arc towards the signer and away. For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - more than.
GIVE-BIRTH-TO - S-ENTER.
HON.-INDEX - [B], PO up, FO > the thing to be honored.
Lyrics:
Ave Maria gratia plena. Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
