Victimae Paschali Laudes is one of the best-known sequences of the Latin liturgy, traditionally sung at Easter and long associated with the Roman Catholic Mass for Easter Sunday. Attributed in tradition to Wipo of Burgundy in the eleventh century, it retells the Easter story in Latin, praising Christ as the paschal victim and recounting Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb. The chant survived in Gregorian repertoire and remains familiar through church choirs, Easter services and recordings, which is why short excerpts now circulate widely online as atmospheric sacred music.
