Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

From the first in ha series of hilltop Marian shrines in northern Italy (the "Sacro Monte di Ossuccio) comes this fresco of the Annunciation. We see Mary's bed and her chair with her work "framed" by a painted drape, while she is outside of the room on a kneeler.

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.
