Mary's AngelThe angel Gabriel visited Mary in Nazareth. She was engaged to Joseph. Gabriel told Mary she would give birth to the Son of God. Mary was a virgin. Gabriel told her God's power would make the conception possible. Gabriel said "Nothing will be impossible with God." He then told Mary her elderly relative, Elizabeth, was six months pregnant.

Gabriel in the Old Testament

Mary's angel Gabriel is also the angel who appeared to Daniel in the Old Testament (cf. Daniel 8,9)

Gabriel in the Hail Mary

It is also worth noting that the archangel Gabriel's words to Mary form the beginning of the Hail Mary prayer:

Haile thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: Blessed art thou among women. Luke 1:28 KJV

In the Hail Mary, Elizabeth's greeting then complements Gabriel's greeting, i.e.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruite of thy wombe. Luke 1:42 KJV

Gabriel's Feast Day

The feast day of Gabriel, along with Raphael and Michael (the only other angels identified by name in Scripture), is celebrated on September 29th, commonly referred to as Michaelmas Day. (cf. Thurston & Attwater 1956, p.677)

The name of the Angel was "Gabriel". It appears in the Bible in book Luke Chapter 1.

Gabriel also appears in the book of Daniel, and he is one of only three angels named in the Catholic Bible, the other two being Michael and Raphael.

Michael is mentioned in the book of Daniel and Revelation, and Raphael appears in the Apocryphal Book of Tobit.

A:The author of Luke's Gospel says that an angel appeared to Mary, but not to Joseph. The author of Matthew's Gospel says that an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, but not to Mary.
