This devotion in honor of the Incarnation commemorates the angel Gabriel's annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Traditionally recited at approximately 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m., Angelus is the opening word of the prayer "Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae" (the angel declared unto Mary). A beautiful way to evangelize, reminding all of the mystery of the Incarnation. Buy them in bulk quantities to include in greeting cards--especially for Christmas!
