Antiphona 5

'Tota pulchra es, Maria' combines Canticles 4:7 ('Thou art all beautiful, my love, and there is no spot in thee') with Marian interpretation affirming her Immaculate Conception. The phrase 'macula originalis non est in te' (there is no original stain in thee) explicitly references freedom from original sin - this text became central to Immaculate Conception liturgy after 1854. Mary's beauty is not merely moral but ontological - she was preserved from the moment of her conception. At Vespers, this antiphon contemplates Mary's unique sinlessness, the full beauty that grace achieves when unimpeded by any stain.
