Old Saxon Rosary Prayers

This language is also known as Old Low German, which is the ancestor of modern Plattdeutsch (also called “Low German”).

This was a language spoken on the northwest coast of Germany and in the Netherlands by Saxon peoples between the 8th and 12th centuries. It is closely related to Old Anglo-Frisian (Old Frisian, Old English) and Old Low Franconian ("Old Dutch").

Prayers that are not known in this language are shown in English until we have the complete prayer, at which time it will be shown in both languages.
