Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This Annunciation by Dominicus Custos is from a series of illustrations of the Creed. If you look in the background, you see the fulfillment of Gabriel's words with a small Nativity scene visible as if through a window. "Conceived by the Holy Spirit" and "born of the Virgin Mary": two points from the Creed in one image!

From the Philadelphia 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.
