Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

How many perfect little doll's houses will appear beneath Christmas trees this week, to the delight of their little landlords? Ah, but how many doll's houses have original artwork in them, such as this miniature Annunciation, commissioned for Queen Mary's Dolls' House (on display in Windsor Castle)? From the Royal Collection Trust; by Philip Harry Newman, about 1923.

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.
