During this Easter season from Easter Sunday until the end of the Octave of Pentecost, the Angelus prayer said at 6 AM, Noon, and 6 PM, is replaced with the Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven):
V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia:
R. For he whom you merited to bear, alleluia,
V. Has risen, as he said, alleluia.
R. Pray for us to God, alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. Because the Lord is truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray. O God, who by the Resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, granted joy to the whole world: grant, we beg you, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, his Mother, we may lay hold of the joys of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. (Roman Breviary)
A partial indulgence is obtained through the saying of this prayer, but if one does not know the words to this prayer, they may still receive it if they just pray 5 Hail Marys.

That was beautifully sung Srs. Anne and Julia. My wife and I pray the Holy Rosary daily in Latin and English. I don't believe Our Lady can hold Her Son's anger with the state of the world back much longer. My Lord and my God.
