It's another 'Catholic Tradition' (which Dr. John Barnett would surely misinterpret as "worshipping the angel," but which Catholics know is more like 'trusting Yahweh's Creation to carry our Praise back to Yahweh as Faithfully as it carries Yahweh's Blessings to us').
A discussion about that tradition's modern observance is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The |Angelus| is a Prayer named after the |Incipit' (First Words of the Prayer), which mean "The #Angel" (the Prayer being a Remembrance of The Incarnation, which "The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary (Jesus's Mother)").
The word |Angel| is built on ancient words that mean "|Divine Messenger" (|Envoy, one who Announces, Mounted Courier, |Swift, to Send, Errand-Spirit ... also the name of a medieval England gold-coin (stamped with the image of #Archangel |Michael slaying a dragon) frequently given to 'Mental-Patients' (the 'Touched-in-the-Head' ones)). #AngelFoodCake #AngelDust ( |Phencyclidine) #Angelic #Angelotry #AngelFish
