Nuper rosarum flores
Ex dono pontificis
Hyeme licet horrida
Tibi virgo celica
Pie et sancte deditum
Grandis templum machine
Condecorarunt perpetim.
Hodie vicarius
Jesu Christi et Petri
Successor Eugenius
Hoc idem amplissimum
Sacris templum manibus
Sanctisque liquoribus
Consecrare dignatus est.
Igitur, alma parens
Nati tui et filia,
Virgo decus virginum,
Tuus te Florencie
Devotus orat populus,
Ut qui mente et corpore
Mundo quicquam exorarit,
Oracione tua
Cruciatus et meritis
Tui secundum carnem
Nati domini sui
Grata beneficia
Veniamque reatum
Accipere mereatur. Amen.

Terribilis est locus iste.

The rose blossoms,
recently given by the Pope,
despite the winter's cold
have continued to adorn this temple
with its great device,
piously and solemnly dedicated
to you, heavenly Virgin.
Today the vicar of Jesus
Christ and the successor
of Peter, Eugenius,
has deigned to consecrate
this same most splendid
temple with his sacred hands
and holy oils.
Therefore, kindly parent
and daughter of your Son,
you, O Virgin, glory of virgins,
your devoted inhabitants
of Florence implore
that he who with pure mind
and body has made some entreaty—
By your prayer
and by the merits of the crucifixion
of your Son, his Lord
made flesh—will
deserve to receive
welcome favors and
the forgiveness of sins. Amen.
Awesome is this place.
