    It's Hail Mary, the start of a prayer to Mary, mother of Jesus. 

    Hail Mary   is a similar to "Honor Mary".    Remember "All hail the king"?

    >......and then there's the "hail Mary" pass.

    But Mary had a mother, St Anne, who was married to Joachim, so although God may not have had a mother, He had a grandmother if you believe that Jesus is God. Personally, I find the whole religion thing unbelievable, but quite fascinating.

    its often used as an expresion, do you know why?

    I've never hear it as an expression, just a prayer.

    Hail Mary,
    Full of Grace,
    The Lord is with thee.
    Blessed art thou among women,
    and blessed is the fruit
    of thy womb, Jesus.
    Holy Mary,
    Mother of God,
    pray for us sinners now,
    and at the hour of death.
    Amen.

    *** this bit is wrong, "Mother of God". God had no mother, God was not birthed. God has simply always been. No beginning and no ending.

    ***It is not wrong if you believe in the Holy Trinity.

    Mary could not have given birth to God since God existed before Mary did. God had no mother.

    Beyond the Catholic Prayer.....In Footlball (american) a Hail Mary is a last-ditch effort-to win QB who throws a long pass hoping it will be caught (by his team mate) and run into the end zone for a winning touch down....

    "" Hmmm...he hasn't used spell-checker...Hail Caesar...
