Gabriel did not come alone, according to the Master of James IV of Scotland! The attending angels, with their multi-hued wings, are holding Gabriel's cope-like cape as the golden-crowned Archangel delivers his message.

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).
