Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This 1904 Annunciation by Vittorio Matteo Corcos seems to be of the "Annunciation at the Well" type, although the water jar is suspiciously small for household use.

Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
Happy New Year!
I am grateful to Bishop Daniel Flores (of Brownsville, TX), for providing this lovely Annunciation through his Twitter feed on the Fourth Sunday of Advent (when Luke's narrative was the Gospel for Mass)! It dates to about 1587 by Andrés de la Concha and is found in Tamazulapan, Oaxaca, México, where the Spaniard was commissioned for it as part of a major project.

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).
