释义 | > as lemmasO antiphon 2. An anthem or meditation containing an invocation to Christ beginning with O; spec. (more fully O antiphon) each of seven anthems (the O Sapientia, O Adonai, etc.) traditionally sung on the days preceding Christmas Eve.The seven anthems are sometimes collectively known as the O's of Advent.The O's of St Bridget, or Fifteen O's, are fifteen meditations on the Passion of Christ composed by St Bridget, each beginning with O Jesu or a similar invocation.The source cited in quot. 1518 lists a number of payments ‘for his O’ or ‘for his O Clavis David’ which are apparently, but not certainly, references to the singing of these anthems.
