Iconography and Symbolism
The St Archangel Gabriel Icon (also known as Gabriel the Archangel; Greek: Ἀρχάγγελος Γαβριήλ) depicts the heavenly messenger who brings God’s will to humanity. His name means “God is my strength,” and he is best known for announcing the Incarnation of Christ to the Virgin Mary at the Annunciation.

In iconography, he is shown in radiant garments, often holding a staff or a sphere, symbols of divine authority and mission. His calm and graceful expression reflects purity, obedience, and the joy of proclaiming God’s message.

Gabriel appears throughout Scripture as a bearer of revelation and hope. His image reminds the faithful to listen, trust, and respond to God’s call. The gold background symbolizes the light of heaven and the presence of the angelic world.

Feast Day
March 26 and November 8 (Synaxis of the Archangels).
