that must have been a popular print, since i remember it from my early school years, too, circa late 1950 and early 1960's.

our church bells ran the angelus too, 6 am, noon and 6 pm there was a much more elaborate chime than ran on the hour..

6 pm was dinner time, and there was no excuse to be late, since we were never supposed to stray out of hearing of the church bells, and once we heard the angelus ring, we were to head home, and never be later than 6:05 or so..

i used to know a short latin prayer to be said at the angelus, but it didn't stick in my head.. the only latin i know is parts of the mass i learned to sing...
