When was Hail Mary written?

As no mention is made of the fall of Jerusalem in AD70 by Luke, either in his gospel or in his book of Acts, it is highly likely that he wrote both of these books before this time, probably around 50-60AD.

However, Luke did not write the 'Hail Mary'

The Catholic Hail Mary prayer is:

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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 our death.
Amen.

Luke actually wrote the following:

Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [Luke 1: 28-31]

The Catholic 'Hail Mary', also known as the 'Angelus'includes Roman Catholic doctrine about Mary being the 'mother of God' who 'intercedes for sinners', but has absolutely no foundation in scripture. The Angelus probably originated with the 11th century monastic worship. The first written documentation stems from Italian Franciscan monk Sinigardi di Arezzo (died 1282). Franciscan monasteries in Italy document the use in 1263 and 1295. As for the actual origins of the Angelus, the Catholic Encyclopedia states that "The history of the Angelus is by no means easy to trace with confidence, and it is well to distinguish in this matter between what is certain and what is in some measure conjectural." In other Words, no one knows who wrote it, but it certainly wasn't Luke.

What IS certain, however, is that as it is a man-made concept, and a concept that has no basis in scripture, the vast majority of non-Catholic Christians regard the Angelus as contrary to scripture, where God is seen as eternal and infinite, and a 'Mother of God' superfluous and elevating Mary almost to the point of being a goddess herself, and also her role as interceder as abhorrent to the Word of God, as scripture dictates that Jesus alone is our only mediator and advocate.
