Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

A mid-15th century Italian altarpiece once featured this somewhat simple, highly geometric Annunciation. According to the notes of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, current holder of the piece, the original setting was probably a Franciscan church in Rimini.

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.
