Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

The Annunciation, by Arthur Joseph Gaskin

Gaskin, an Englishman, studied at the Birmingham School of Art. He had not even completed the program when he joined the faculty, later marrying one of his students. He was affiliated with the Arts and Crafts movement, applying its principles to his special work in jewelry, a specialization that shows in the jewel tones of this Annunciation.

About the Angelus Project

We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a call to prayer, too! It is the Angelus. Morning, noon and evening we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:14), because "God so loved the world that he sent his only Son" (Jn. 3:16).
The Angelus Project is a personal project of Sister Anne Flanagan, FSP, a Daughter of St Paul. Find out more about the media ministry of the Daughters of St Paul at DaughtersofStPaul.com.
