Litany of the Saints
The Litany of the Saints is the oldest litany we possess and is the model for all other Litanies. Its first recorded use was in 590 when Pope St. Gregory prescribed its usage for a public procession of thanksgiving. The Litany is a call to remember those who have gone before us and to ask their intercession. The exact list of saints has varied over time and geographical area.
