Solution to Ring Cycle by Hedge-sparrow
The theme is the set of seven O ANTIPHONS (also known as the
Great Os of Advent), which are Magnificat antiphons used at vespers on the final
seven days of Advent. The title of each
antiphon comprises the word O followed by a Biblical name of Christ. Six of the Biblical names – SAPIENTIA,
ADONAI, RADIX JESSE, CLAVIS DAVID, ORIENS AND REX GENTIUM, appear as unclued
entries in the grid. The seventh,
EMMANUEL, occurs hidden in the final grid in the shape of an O (to be indicated
by solvers).
