Ive been researching this, and have seen some discussion about it on the internet. There are implications that this song that is sung during mass on Easter Sunday in the Catholic church is evidence of the worship of Lucifer. If you read the latin transcript of the lyrics, you will see it includes Lucifer, and in the translations to English it is translated as Morning Star. The songs translations in English that I have read also mention Jesus Christ coming back from the underworld or hell, and in the end where the song mentions Lucifer or Morning Star, in one translation it implies that Jesus is the Morning Star, and in another it implies that Jesus Christ is the son of the Morning Star. Im not an expert in translation from Latin to English, so I have been researching various examples of the songs translations from Latin to English. Here are two translation examples of just the end part of the song, the first one is said to be according to the 1962 missal, and the second one is said to be according to the 1975 missal. Oramus ergo te, Domine, ut cereus iste in honorem tui nominis consecratus, ad noctis huius caliginem destruendam, indeficiens perseveret. Et in odorem suavitatis acceptus, supernis luminaribus misceatur. Flammas eius lucifer matutinus inveniat: Ille, inquam, lucifer, qui nescit occasum: Ille qui regressus ab inferis, humano generi serenus illuxit. We beseech thee therefore, O Lord, that this candle, consecrated to the honor of thy name, may continue burning to dissipate the darkness this night. And being accepted as a sweet savor, may be united with the celestial lights. Let the morning star find it alight, that star which never sets. Which being returned from hell, shone with brightness on mankind. _____________________________________________________________ Oramus ergo te, Domine, ut cereus iste in honorem tui nominis consecratus, ad noctis huius caliginem destruendam, indeficiens perseveret.
