Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

From the southern Italian town of St Agatha of the Goths (really!), the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation includes a chapel with this 15th century work by Angiolillo Arcuccio:

Among the decaying frescoes of the ancient church are the remnants of another lovely Annunciation, visible starting from the 50 second mark in this video from an Italian TV network. Gabriel and Mary appear on either side of St Stephen. Here's a screenshot, filtered for greater clarity:

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.
