Last week's feature was a Virgin Annunciate; this week we have Gabriel alone. A solitary Gabriel is not a kind of Annunciation; in this case the corresponding panel of the Virgin has been lost.

Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This "Annunciata" (Our Lady of the Annunciation) by Russian artist Julia Bekhova has a distinctly modern look, while still offering us all the typical signs of an Annunciation.

Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This stunning Annunciation by an unknown 16th century artist is part of a triptych in the collection of the Museo Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. The scenes chosen for the triptych are unusual: the central panel is the Epiphany, and the other side panel the rest on the flight into Egypt. Those are not a common combination!

Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image
This early 20th century Annunciation window is from St Jean Baptiste Church in New York City and is by Charles Lorin of Chartres. Another famous church in NYC features Lorin windows: St Patrick's Cathedral!

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).
