An Angelus is a Christian devotion in memory of the Incarnation, or the bell rung as a call to prayer during the Angelus service.
The Angelus
The prayer in honor of the Annunciation is the Hail Mary, which begins with the words "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.” This prayer celebrates the moment when the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus.
The Latin word "angelus" can be translated to mean "angel" in modern English. The Latin term "Angelus" is used in many Roman Catholic prayers, such as in the phrase "Angelus Domini".
