St. Gabriel Medal - 14K Gold

Though there are probably billions of angels, and even different “choirs” of angels (generally numbered at nine – angels, archangels, cherubim, seraphim, etc.) there are only three angels in the Bible who are given proper names: Michael, Raphael and Gabriel. Gabriels’s name means "God is my strength". He is mentioned three times in Scripture as a messenger: he explained a vision of Jesus to Daniel; he told Zachary about the birth of his son, St. John the Baptist; and he also told Mary that she was pregnant with Jesus. In this latter mission – clearly his greatest – it can be said that he, under direction from almighty God, changed the name of the Virgin, greeting her, literally, “hail, perfected in grace one” (in Greek: chaire, kecharitomene), or more commonly translated “hail, full of grace.” St. Gabriel is the patron of postal, radio, and telephone workers; his feast is celebrated on September 29. © 2006
