From Wikipedia
Marian hymns are Christian songs focused on Mary, mother of Jesus. They are used in devotional and liturgical services, particularly by the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Anglican churches.
Some have been adopted as Christmas hymns. Marian hymns are not popular among the majority of low-church Protestant denominations, as a large portion of adherents to said churches see Marian devotion as idolatry.
