Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

 I heard the 20th century calling out plaintively, "I have some Annunciations to offer, too!" And it true: look at this lovely porcelain vase from the very first years of the 20th century. It was a collaborative effort by Barcelona artists Antoni Serra (1869-1932), a noted ceramic artist, and Josep Pey (1875-1956).

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.
