Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

 I cropped the page on which this image is featured in order to reduce the file size and allow you to see the image itself more easily. The original, a woodcut in a classical style, is from the Statens Museum of Kunst, the National Gallery of Denmark. The image is by Melchio Lorck, whose initials appear in Mary's prie-dieu.

See the original (in its full setting) on the museum site.

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.
