When Hebo has been rescued from the tidal river, he prays, to Lissa's surprise:
"'Holy Mother of God...
"'I, I thank you for your mercy. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you -'" (p. 38)
Lissa remembers the prayer from historical documentaries. Hebo is nine hundred years old.
In Poul Anderson's Technic History, Djana prays:
"'Hail Mary, full of grace -'"
-Poul Anderson, A Circus Of Hells IN Anderson, Young Flandry (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 193-365 AT CHAPTER FOUR, p. 225.
Like Lissa with Hebo, Dominic Flandry is surprised:
"Her? And he'd thought he'd gotten to know her!" (ibid.)
Finally, for now, we recently quoted this same prayer in Russian. See Raduysya Mariye.

Kaor, Paul!
I recall Hebo being, I think, a Catholic. But he was not always able to attend Catholic services. But we do see him attending services at a church he found reasonable compatible (don't recall for sure what they were called).
And we also see Kossara Vymezal praying in A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS.

Sean,
The churches are named somewhere on the blog.

Neocatholicism and Josephanism. (XXXII, p. 169)
Kaor, Paul!
Thanks! I'll be looking up this passage. What OFF Earth can "Neocatholicism" and "Josephanism" be??? And what happened to Judaism, Protestantism, Buddhism, or Islam?
