Latin prayers are prayers recited in Latin, the historical language of the Roman Catholic Church.
Many Catholics learn prayers like the Pater Noster (Our Father) or Ave Maria (Hail Mary) in Latin, even if they don't speak the language.
Latin prayers appear in traditional masses, choral music, and religious ceremonies: The choir chanted Latin prayers during the procession.
