The "Veni creator spiritus" is a 9th century Latin hymn attributed to the Benedictine monk St. Rabanus Maurus. It is used as a hymn for the Vespers of Pentecost, as well as for the Octave of Pentecost, where it is still celebrated. Since the 11th century at the latest, the Veni Creator Spiritus has also been sung at synods, ordinations and conclaves.
