Praying the Regina Coeli with Art
During the Easter Season, the Angelus is traditionally replaced with the "Regina Coeli," sharing Mary's joy in the Resurrection of Jesus. There are few artistic representations of the Virgin Mary on Easter Day. Far more common are images of the Coronation of Mary: the full participation of the Mother in her Son's victory over sin and death. "Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God," that we, too, "might be made worthy of the promises of Christ!"

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).
