Tagalog lessons from an English teacher. Oración. Six p.m., to Catholics before WWII, meant time for the oración or evening prayer. The church announced it to the neighborhood by the well-spaced tolling of one of the bells in the belfry. Every family prayed the oración at home. The prayer began something like this: “The Angel of the Lord came down unto Mary.” “And she conceived of the Holy Ghost” etc.
