A Special Selection for Black Catholic History Month

This month Holy Nativity Radio will be featuring Australian group Prima Luce's rendition of the Marian text Nigra Sum, "I am black". This famous passage from the Canticle of Canticles (Song of Songs) has long been associated with various Black Madonna icons and statues in Europe, and it also has been adopted in a special way by Catholics of the African diaspora.

The American bishops have designated November Black Catholic History Month in honor of the feast of St. Martin de Porres on November 3rd as well as the birthday of St. Augustine of Hippo on November 13th.

Holy Nativity Radio: Traditional Catholic Music for the Liturgical Year

Annoyed at hearing Christmas music before Advent has even started? Sick of sappy modern hymns? We're happy to announce there’s a solution!

Holy Nativity Radio follows the Traditional Catholic liturgical year—all year. Effortlessly enter into the spirit of the liturgy each week with Breviary hymns, English hymns, Introits, and Mass Propers, including music from the Sunday Mass as well as feasts such as St. Nicholas, the Immaculate Conception, and St. Lucy. You'll find daily devotions emphasized throughout the week such as the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday, the Passion on Friday, and Our Lady on Saturday. And you'll be able to turn your home into a mini monastery, with proper Psalms for each canonical hour of the day from Matins to Compline, following the classic Psalter of St. Benedict. Plus enjoy year-round favorites as well such as the Ordinaries of the Mass, hymns, and sacred polyphony.

Holy Nativity Radio draws from the rich Roman and Anglo-Catholic traditions and also highlights unique sacred music native to the Americas as well as Byzantine and other traditions from Europe and around the world.

Holy Nativity Radio is a free service and broadcasts all over the world through the Internet 24/7. Let us be the soundtrack for your domestic church.
