The Hail Mary is composed of several parts. The first and largest portion comes from the Archangel Gabriel's address to the Blessed Virgin Mary (Luke 1:28) "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." (all Bible quotations are from the Douay-Rheims translation) The next part comes from verse 42, where her cousin, Elizabeth is addressing her: "... Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." The last part was from a petition added by the faithful over the centuries: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death." Common usage over the centuries put Mary's name in after the "Hail", and Jesus name in after the "fruit of thy womb". The entire prayer - as we have it now - was first recorded in print in the Camaldolese monks' Breviary in the early 16th century.

Great question! :)

This quote is attributed to the archangel Gabriel when he greeted Mary. They are his opening words to what is called the Anunciation, in which he anounces that Mary will give birth to Jesus.

In the original Koine Greek, it was recorded as

Xaιρε κεχaριτωμένη ό κύριος μετά σου. (Luke 1:28)

From the Greek it was translated (primarily) into Latin as

Ave (Maria) gratia plena Dominus tecum. (Luke 1:28)

And from either the Greek or the Latin, Gabriel's words may be rendered in English as Hail (Mary) full of grace, the Lord is with you.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe first part of the prayer, actually, was composed by God and delivered to Mary by the Archangel, Gabriel:

Hail, [Mary] full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. St. Luke 1:28(b). The next line is contributed by St. Elizabeth: And blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [Jesus]. The Church added the final petition and the names in brackets above:

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. The Church added the final petition in the Middle Ages.
