The term "Angelus" refers to a traditional Catholic prayer that honors the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. It is typically recited three times a day: at dawn, noon, and dusk. The prayer consists of a series of verses and responses, often accompanied by the ringing of church bells, reminding the faithful of the significance of the Annunciation. In addition to its prayerful aspect, "Angelus" can also refer to various artistic representations, such as paintings and sculptures depicting the Annunciation scene. These works often capture the moment when the angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive the Son of God, symbolizing a pivotal moment in Christian theology.
