New Testament[ edit ] Archangel Gabriel. After completing his week [17] of ministry, Zacharias returned to his home and his wife Elizabeth conceived. After she completed "five months" Luke —25 of her pregnancy, Gabriel is mentioned again: 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name Analusis Mary. And the angel departed from her.
In the first passage the angel identified himself as Gabriel, but in the second it is Luke who identified him as Gabriel. Gabriel is not called an archangel in the Bible. Believers are expressly warned not to worship angels in Colossians —19 and Revelation However, though the Bible mentions a trumpet blast preceding the resurrection of the dead, it never specifies Gabriel as the trumpeter.

Different passages state different things: the angels of the Son of Man Matthew 24 ; the voice of the Son of God John 5 ; God's trumpet I Thessalonians ; seven angels sounding a series of blasts Revelation 8 - 11 ; or simply "a trumpet will sound" I Corinthians In Judaism, trumpets are prominent, and they seem to be blown by God himself, or sometimes Michael. In Zoroastrianismthere is no trumpeter at the last judgment. In Islamic tradition, it is Israfil who blows the trumpet, though he is not named in the Qur'an.
The Christian Church Fathers do not mention Gabriel as the trumpeter; early English literature similarly does not. He ended, and the Son gave signal high To the bright minister that watch'd, he blew His trumpet, heard in Oreb since perhaps When God descended, and perhaps once more To sound at general doom.
Later, Gabriel's horn is omnipresent in Negro spirituals, but it is unclear how the Byzantine conception inspired Milton and the spirituals, though they presumably have a common source. Icon of Gabriel, Byzantineca.
Michael and St. The Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite celebrate his feast day on 8 November for those churches that follow the traditional Julian 1-18 November currently falls on 21 November of the modern Gregorian Calendara difference of 13 days. Eastern Orthodox commemorate him, not only on his November feast, but also on two other days: 26 March is the " Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel" and celebrates his role in the Annunciation.
The feast was first established on Mount Athos when, in the 9th century, during the reign of Emperor Basil II and the Empress Constantina Porphyrogenitus and while Nicholas Chrysoverges was Patriarch of Constantinoplethe Archangel appeared in a cell [32] near KaryesGenesis 22 Act 1-11 Analysis he wrote with his finger Anwlysis a stone tablet the hymn to the Theotokos" It is truly meet The two are regarded as the same individual; Noah being his mortal name and Gabriel being his heavenly name.]
