    The Angelus

    The Angelus is recited at three particular times during the day; 6 am, 12 noon, and 6 pm. Traditionally it is
    recited kneeling while a bell is rung. During the Easter Season, the Angelus is replaced by the Regina Caeli,
    a practice first instituted in 1743.
    The origins of the Angelus undoubtedly lie with an 11 century custom of reciting three Hail Mary's during
    the evening bell. Pope Gregory IX (d 1241) ordered a bell to be rung in the evening to remind people to
    pray for the Crusades. In 1269 St. Bonaventure urged the faithful to adopt the custom of the Franciscans of
    saying three Hail Mary's as the evening bell was rung. Pope John XXII indulgenced this practice in 1318
    and then again in 1327. The custom of reciting it in the morning apparently grew from the monastic custom
    of saying three Hail Mary's while a bell rang at Prime. The noon time custom apparently arose from the
    noon time commemoration of the Passion on Fridays. Pope Callistus III (1455-1458) commended the
    practice as a prayer for protection against the Turkish invasions of his time. By the sixteenth century the
    form of the prayer was standardized and it has been highly popular since the 17th century. Popes such as
    Benedict XIV, Leo XIII, Pius XI, and Pius XII have recommended it. More recently, Pope Paul VI wrote
    about it in Marialis Cultis and Pope John Paul II holds a weekly noon time Angelus address at St. Peter's
    Square. A partial indulgence is granted to those who devoutly recite it according to the time of the year.
