Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image



Last week's image was by Rogier van der Weyden. Scholars see this work by Hans Memling (thought to be the left wing of a diptych), as based on a (strikingly similar) design by van der Weyden (Memling was a member of van der Weyden's workshop).
For more info, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

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.
