About the Angelus:
About the Angelus: For 700 years, Christians have paused three times daily to meditate on the Incarnation by praying the Angelus — a brief, beautiful prayer recalling the moment the Angel Gabriel announced God's plan to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Church bells rang across villages and cities, calling the faithful to stop and pray. During the Easter Season, the Church replaces the Angelus with the Regina Caeli, a joyful hymn celebrating the Resurrection. Angelus Bell brings both traditions into your browser.

- I cannot believe this didn't exist before. A great prayer, once heard publicly throughout the West is slowly making it's way back. Let's all return to prayer!

- Love this project! I look forward to notifications from my computer now. Also a great feature is the ability to change the audio of the bell, from real Churches from around the world! I cannot wait to see where it goes with the iOS + Android app. As Catholics we need to support one another and take up space in the public arena. BRING BACK THE ANGELUS & PRAY.

- This simple, elegant tool has been a great quality-of-life upgrade in my efforts to pray throughout the day. Especially during the workday I've appreciated the gentle, beautiful reminder it provides to acknowledge God and remember the prime realities of life. Thanks for this gift to Chrome users everywhere!

- As a Catholic business owner growing his business and wanting to grow a team that is primarily Catholic I want to incorporate various Catholic traditions and prayer with the team as normal part of our work day. I think it would be great if we were to all have this on all computers in our future office and say the Angelous together
- Christian Smallwood
- Super simple and a beautiful way to add the Angelus to your regular prayer schedule. I love the multiple options for bell sounds and the easy-to-use interface. I greatly appreciate Project Angelus' work in bringing tradition to the modern age. Thank you and may God bless your wonderful work!

- Full disclosure: I’m the developer behind Angelus Bell. This extension began as a personal hobby project. As a traditionally minded Catholic executive who spends much of his working day in a web browser, I found myself craving the kind of momentary interruption my agrarian ancestors would have known—hearing off in the distance the tolling of the bells of a centuries old parish church or monastery. Upon hearing, they'd pause to recite that ancient prayer memorializing the moment of the Incarnation. Standard smartphone alarms just don't jive with that aesthetic. I built this extension as an attempt to realize that romantic ideal in a modern context. Users have the option to select any (or all) of the traditional Angelus times: 6am, 12pm, and 6am. They also have the option to choose from six different bell tower recordings that were carefully sourced from the public domain or graciously provided by individuals—most captured from historic European churches, many of which were indeed ringing the bells for the Angelus. The extension has been in beta for a good while now. We’ve worked through the bugs and edge cases. It’s stable, lightweight, and does exactly what it says it does. Pray the Angelus!
