All I have been able to find out about this Annunciation (so far!) is that it is possibly of Dutch origin, circa 1520, and is housed in the Berlin Gemäldegalerie.
Annunciation, 1520 Gemäldegalerie, Berlin |
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. Three times a day, we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: that "God so loved the world he sent his only Son" (Jn 3:16).
