The Hail Mary prayer is a very biblical prayer and easy to memorize.

The Hail Mary prayer comes from the Gospel of Luke. The first part of the prayer is derived from the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel greeted Mary by saying, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” (Luke 1:28) The next part of the prayer is taken from the Visitation, when Elizabeth greeted Mary with the words, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” (Luke 1:42)

Below is how to pray the Hail Mary prayer.
