ANGELUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 8 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANGELUS , a Roman Catholic devotion in memory of the
Annunciation
 . It has its name from the opening words, Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae. It consists of three texts describing the mystery, recited as versicle and response alternately with the salutation " Hail,
Mary
 ! " This devotion is recited in the Catholic
Church
  three times daily, about 6 A.M.,
noon
  and 6 p.m. At these
hours
  a bell known as the Angelus bell is rung. This is still rung in some
English
  country churches, and has often been mistaken for and alleged to be a survival of the
curfew
 -bell. The institution of the Angelus is by some ascribed to
Pope
  Urban II., by some to John XXII. The triple recitation is ascribed to Louis XI. of France, who in 1472 ordered it to be thrice said daily.
