Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This sweet Italian Annunciation is part of a panel of two images that date to the late 14th century. (The upper image appears to be the Birth of the Virgin.) It is in the collection of the Princeton University Art Museum.

Altichiero (Italian, fl. 1369–before 1393), Annunciation. 
Gift of Henry White Cannon Jr., Class of 1910, in memory of his Father.

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.
