angelus

     

The Angelus (lat. Angel) is a Christian evotion in memory of the Incarnation. Its name is derived from the opening words, Angelus Domini nuntiavit MariƦ. It consists of three Biblical verses describing the mystery, recited as versicle and response, alternating with the salutation "Hail Mary!" and traditionally is recited in Catholic churches, convents and monasteries three times daily, 6:00 a.m., 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m, accompanied by the ringing of the Angelus bell. Some High Church Anglican and Lutheran churches also use the devotion.
