"...In the sixth month, it is said, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a virgin espoused to a man (Luke 1:26).
Gabriel was sent to declare the world-wide salvation;
Gabriel was sent to bear to Adam the signature of his restoration;
Gabriel was sent to a virgin, in order to transform the dishonour of the female sex into honour;
Gabriel was sent to prepare the worthy chamber for the pure spouse;
Gabriel was sent to wed the creature with the Creator;
Gabriel was sent to the animate palace of the King of the angels;
Gabriel was sent to a virgin espoused to Joseph, but preserved for Jesus the Son of God.
The incorporeal servant was sent to the virgin undefiled.
One free from sin was sent to one that admitted no corruption.
The light was sent that should announce the Sun of righteousness.
The dawn was sent that should precede the light of the day.
Gabriel was sent to proclaim Him who is in the bosom of the Father, and who yet was to be in the arms of the mother.
Gabriel was sent to declare Him who is upon the throne, and yet also in the cavern...."
St. Gregory the Wonderworker
