Haec Est Dies Qua Candidae

Italian original Cite

"HAEC EST DIES QUA CANDIDAE". - It is the hymn of Lauds in the Office of St. Teresa of Jesus: the author is not known; but the hymn appears for the first time in the Office of the Saint, printed in 1629 (K. Kastner, Praktischer Brevier-Kommentar, II, Breslau 1924, p. 307).

The author is evidently inspired by the passage of Cant. 4:8: "Veni de Libano, sponsa mea, veni de Libano, coronaberis."
