The Angelus ( ; Latin for "angels") is a Catholic devotion commemorating the Incarnation. Like many Catholic prayers, the name Angelus comes from its incipit - the first few words of the text: Angelus Domini nuntiavit MariÃÆ'Â| ("The Angel of God is declared to Mary"). Devotion is practiced by reading as versicula and answering three Bible verses that tell the mystery, alternating with the prayer "Hail Mary". Angelus exemplifies a type of prayer called "the prayer of the worshipers".
Tradition is traditionally read in Roman Catholic churches, monasteries and monasteries three times a day: 6:00 am, noon, and 6:00 pm (many churches still follow devotions, and some practice at home). Devotion is also used by some Anglican and Lutheran churches.
Angelus is usually accompanied by Angelus bell ring, which is a call to prayer and to spread the good intentions to everyone. The angel referred to in prayer is Gabriel, a messenger of God who revealed to Mary that she would conceive a child to be born as the Son of God (Luke 1: 26-38).

Histori
According to Herbert Thurston, "The history of the Angelus is not at all easy to trace with conviction, and it is good to distinguish in this between what is certain and what is in some measure of guess." This is an old devotion that was formed 700 years ago. The Angelus originated with the 11th century monastic custom of reading three Hail Marys during the night, or Compline, bell. The first written documentation came from the Italian Franciscan monk, Sinigardi in Arezzo (died 1282). The Franciscan monasteries in Italy document their use in 1263 and 1295. The Angelus form of prayer is currently included in Venetian Catechism from 1560. Older usages seem to have commemorated Christ's resurrection in the morning, his suffering during the day, and the preaching at night. In 1269, St. Bonaventure urged the faithful to adopt the Franciscan habit of saying three Hail Marys when the Compline bell was sounded.
The Angelus is not synonymous with the "Noon Bell" commanded by Pope Calixtus III (1455-58) in 1456, who asked for a long bell in the middle of the day and a prayer for protection against the Turkish invasion of his time. In his 1956 Apostolic Letter Dum Maerenti Animo on the persecution of the Catholic church in Eastern Europe and China, Pope Pius XII recalled the 500th anniversary of "Noon Bell", a prayer of the cross commanded by his predecessors against what they consider the danger of the East. He once again asked believers around the world, to pray for the persecuted Church in the East during the noon Angelus.
The habit of pronouncing it in the morning seems to grow from the monastic habit of saying three Hail Marys while the bell rings at the Prime. Daytime habits seem to emerge from the commemoration of Passion Day time on Fridays. The Angelus Institute was by some people who were thought to have come from Pope Urban II, by some for Pope John XXII in 1317. The three resumes were thought to have originated from Louis XI of France, which in 1472 ordered him to be read three times a day. The form of prayer was standardized in the 17th century.
The Angelus ringer - three strokes repeated three times, with pauses between each set of three (a total of nine strokes), sometimes followed by a longer echo like a curfew - seems to have long been established. The fifteenth-century constitution of the Syonese monastery dictates that the lay brother "will burden the Avex bell nine times three times, preserving the space of one Father and Ave between the three poles". Irish radio and television ringing patterns consisted of three groups three times, each group separated by pause, followed by a group of nine friends, for a total of eighteen rings.
In his Apostolic Letter Marialis Cultus (1974), Pope Paul VI encourages the Angelus prayer to remember it is important and a reminder to the faithful Catholics of the Paschal Mystery, where by recalling the incarnation of the Son of God they pray that they may be led "through his passions and crosses to the glory of his resurrection."

The modern usage
It is a common practice that during the Angelus prayer recital, for the lines "And the Word is made flesh/And dwell among us", people recite the bow of prayer or kneel. One of these actions drew attention at the time of Christ's Incarnation to human flesh. During Paschaltide, Antiphon Maria Regina Coeli with versic and prayer, substitute Angelus.
In some Catholic schools, Angelus is read regularly.
In most Franciscan and contemplative monasteries, the Angelus continues to be prayed three times a day.
In Germany, certain dioceses and their radio stations surround the Angelus. In addition, the Roman Catholic churches (and some Protestants) ring the Angelus bell three times each day.
In Ireland, the Angelus is currently broadcasted every night before the evening headlines at 6:00 pm on the main national TV channel, RTÃÆ'â € ° One, and at radio station of broadcaster brother, Radio 1, during the day and 6:00 pm. In 2015, in an advertisement for a commission for independent filmmakers to produce an Angelus version, RTÃÆ' â € ° describes the Angelus game as follows:
"Angelus" daily broadcast in RTÃÆ' â € ° One is the longest running and most watched Religious Program by RT. This is also, perhaps, the most controversial. For some, the reflective slot, which airs only one minute at every 1440 per day and only on one RT TV channel, is as part of Ireland's unique cultural identity as a harp on your passport; for others, this is an anachronism - a reminder of more homogeneous and obedient Christian times.
RTÃÆ' â € ° Audience Researcher found that the majority of Irish viewers still support the broadcast "Angelus", bells and everything. Its appeal is summed up by one of the members of the audience as follows: "To the believer, it is a time of grace, to an unbeliever, it is a moment of peace. What is not liked?" The station also notes that the prayer itself was never broadcast.
The Angelus is broadcast daily on radio in the city of Monterrey, Mexico, at 6:00, noon, and 6:00 pm.
In the Philippines, Catholic-run radio and television stations and some religious orders broadcast Angelus at 6:00, noon, and 6:00 pm. Devotion is also broadcast through the public address system at noon and 6:00 pm in some shopping centers, and in many Catholic educational institutions mostly at noon in schools (some only ring bells at 18:00).
In the United States and Canada, some Catholic radio stations are run by Angelus daily broadcasters. The American monasteries and monasteries of the Trappist often combine the Angelus with midday prayer or Vespers and pray together in the Church. At the Portland Catholic University of Portland, the bell tower near the Angelus toll campus center by noon and 6:00 pm.
Papal custom
In the Vatican City since Pope John XXIII, the Pope addresses every Sunday at noon. Known informally as the Angelus Address ("Regina Coeli Address" during Eastertide), short rituals are broadcast by public television (Rai Uno) and the Eurovision Network. At the end of the Address, the Pope leads the reading of Angelus or Regina Coeli, and ends with a blessing over the crowds at Saint Peter's Square and televiewers.
Anglican Exercise
Angelus is found in two popular 20th century Anglo-Catholic service guidebooks. The Practice of Religion: A Short Manual of Instruction and Devotion by Archibald Campbell Knowles, first published in 1908, refers to the Angelus as the "Incarnation Warning" and notes that "In the mystery of the Incarnation we worship and worship God we as Lord God, we honor and honor Santa Maria as 'Blessed among women.' In honor of Mary, the Instrument of Incarnation, we truly honor Christ, who became the incarnation. "
The Angelus is also found in the Saint Augustine Prayer Book: A Book of Devotion for members of the Episcopal Church , first published in 1947 (Revised Edition, 1967).
In many Anglo-Catholic Churches of the Anglican Communion, there is a strong tradition to sing Angelus, especially before or after the Sunday Parish mass. This practice has spread more widely into Roman Catholicism through Ordinariate jurisdiction for ex-Anglican.

In poetry
The Irish Union's's Farewell poem by Sir John Betjeman has this line "and Angelus summoned".
Francis Bret Harte wrote "The Angelus" which refers to the twilight that chimed from the Angelus bell on a California mission.
Denis Florence MacCarthy's poem "The Bell-Founder" describes the Angelus bell style.
The most famous collection of poems in Francis Jammes is the year 1897 "From the angel of dawn to the angels of the night" ("From Angelus morning to Angelus afternoon").
In "The Angelus", Donegal poet Elizabeth Shane described some of the peat cutting peat reminiscent of the scene in the Millet painting.
In a poem set for music around 1919, The Foggy Dew, Canon Charles O'Neill (1887-1963) memorialized Easter Rising, also known as the Easter Rebellion of 1916. One line reads: "But Angelus Bell o'er waves Liffey sounds in a misty mist ".
Angelus bell
The Angelus, in all stages of its development, is closely related to the ringing of church bells. The bells are still rung in some British churches and are often misunderstood, and presumed to be a remnant, curfew bell. The Angelus was replaced by Regina Coeli during Eastertide, and was not read on Good Friday or Holy Saturday.
Where the bells of the city and the main church or monastery's bells are different, the curfew is generally sounded above the bells of the city. Where church bells work for both purposes, Ave and curfew may be sounded on the same bell at different hours.
The Angelus ringer in the 14th century and even in the 13th century must be very common. The number of bells that these two centuries have survived is relatively low, but most contain inscriptions indicating that the bells were originally intended to serve as bell Ave. Many say the words Ave Maria ; or, as in the case of the bell at Helfta, near Eisleben, in Germany, dated 1234, the whole sentence: Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum .
The bells inscribed with Ave Maria are also numerous in England, but there Angelus bells appear in a large number of examples dedicated to St. Gabriel, the angel mentioned in the prayer (Luke 1:26). -27). In the Diocese of Lincoln alone there are nineteen surviving medieval bells with the name Gabriel, while only six use the name Michael, a patron that is much more popular in other respects.
In France, Ave Maria seems to have become a regular label for the Angelus bells; but in Germany, the most common inscriptions of all, even in many bells in the thirteenth century, are the words O Rex GloriÃÆ'Â| Veni Cum Pace ("O King of Glory, Come to Peace"). In Germany, the Netherlands, and in some parts of France, the Angelus bell is regularly known as the Peace bell, and schlagen speed (toll for peace) is a popular phrase used to call Angelus.
In Italy three Angelus recitals are referred to as avemmaria , then L 'avemmaria del giorno , L' avemmaria del mezzo giorno and L 'avemmaria della sera . It is customary at one time to calculate the hours of the day from the Angelus night, or avemmaria for the short term. Therefore the origin of the phrase that appears in the opera Leoncavallo Pagliacci : "venti tre ore" ("at twenty-three") refers to an hour before the night of the Angelus.
