Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

Happy New Year!

The first Annunciation of 2023 dates back to Italy circa 1330. Part of an altarpiece executed on cotton in embroidery in silk, cotton, and metallic threads, it is in the Cloisters (Metropolitan Museum of Art). Visit the Cloisters website to enjoy the image in full detail: it's worth it!

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.
