Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

The green vestments at this morning's Mass tell us that Ordinary Time has resumed, and with it, the praying of the Angelus after 7 weeks of the Regina Coeli. For the next few weeks, our Annunciations will be drawn from those featured on the fascinating Christian Iconography website where you may find yourself lost for hours investigating the way the faith has been encoded in art through the ages. Many thanks to Dr Richard Stracke for this resource!)

This first Annunciation is a modern-day tribute to the Annunciations of the medieval era; a detail from a 1950's stained glass window in Munich, Germany.

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.
