I pray the Angelus

The Angelus is a devotional prayer in honor of the Incarnation, which is recited morning, noon and evening, when the Angelus bell is ringing.

It started in the XIVth century, but then only the evening prayer was recited. In the XVth century, the morning prayer was added, in honor of the Resurrection, and in the XVIth century was added the noon prayer in memory of the Passion.

During the Easter Season (i.e. from Easter to Pentecost), the Regina Caeli is recited instead.

The "I pray the Angelus" initiative has for goal to promote this prayer to catholic web surfers.

This blog provides the prayer in both English and Latin.
