Part III
The Proper of the Saints
It will be observed
that with a few noteworthy exceptions the hymns in honor of the
Saints have not been translated as often as the remaining hymns of
the Breviary. This is in part explained by the fact that the cultus
of a Saint is more or less national in character, and the Breviary
contains few hymns in honor of Saints who are especially venerated in
English-speaking countries.
