This large piece (55 7/8 by 41 1/2 in.) by Alfred-Pierre Agache was shown at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893.
L'Annonciation, c. 1891
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).
