Saint Gabriel the Archangel 's Day is celebrated on September 29th
Saint Gabriel the Archangel 's Day is celebrated on September 29th . Saint Gabriel is one of the three archangels mentioned in the Bible, alongside Saint Michael and Saint Raphael. He is primarily known as God's messenger, with significant appearances in the Bible: Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to Jesus Christ (Luke 1:26-38). He also announced to Zechariah the birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:11-20). In the Old Testament, Gabriel interprets visions for the prophet Daniel (Daniel 8:16-26, 9:21-27). Saint Gabriel is often depicted holding a trumpet, symbolizing his role as divine messenger, or a lily, representing Mary's purity and the announcement of the Incarnation.
