The Annunciation, by Mikhail Nesterov
For a very different rendering of the same scene by the same artist,
see the Angelus Project post from April 4 (this year's Solemnity
of the Annunciation).
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. Three times a day, we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: that "God so loved the world he sent his only Son" (Jn 3:16).
