Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

I never expected to feature an Annunciation from a commercial project being sold on Etsy, but it is an Annunciation, and a charming oe besides.

This "limited edition" Christmas plate was produced in Porsgrund, Norway for Christmas 1973 (and you can buy it now!), but instead of a typical Nativity scene, it features an Annunciation in a barely-hinted at garden (always a Paradise motif).

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.
