Title: Liturgical Latin phrase
Post by: JRTomlin on July 24, 2020, 04:12:06 PM

Yikes, I have totally forgotten the little Latin I once knew. So I think "Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine." is eternal rest grant him, Lord (as opposed to them) but I'm not absolutely certain. Can someone help me out with this? Thanks.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord

You're fine, JR. It'd be 'eis' if it were 'them'.
