Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord
We are in the Easter season, and so rather than the Angelus it is customary to pray the Regina Coeli. However, since the usual date for the Solemnity of the Annunciation fell this year on Palm Sunday, the observance has been shifted to today, the first available date outside of Holy Week and the Easter Octave.
Given the importance of this feast, The Angelus Project features an Annunciation image rather than a more seasonal Coronation.
This Annunciation with its especially sweet Virgin, commissioned by the kneeling personage depicted in the foreground, was executed by the workshop of Domenico Morone in around 1500. It is in the collection of 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).
