Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

Here's an unusual concept: An Annunciation depicted within a picture of a bed and curtain. (Notice the curtain rod at the top of the sheet; the entire background is the curtain on which the rose-bush and Annunciation are delicately placed. But the roses should not have thorns!)

Gaspar Homar (1870 – 1955) executed this in watercolor, pen and ink and graphite pencil on paper mounted on a colored cardboard, circa 1900-1905.

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.
