What is the Angelus?
The Angelus is a Catholic prayer that commemorates the Annunciation and Incarnation of the Son of God. It takes its name from its first words in the Latin version, Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariæ. It consists of three texts that summarize the mystery. For each one, a verse is prayed, followed by their response, and then a Hail Mary is prayed. It is a prayer that is usually prayed at 12 noon in the Catholic Church.
