Archangel Gabriel from Hebrew-the man of God. One of the higher angels, in the old and New Testaments, appears as the bearer of the glad tidings. To the priest Zacharias, he announces in the temple, at the ascension of incense, the birth of John the Baptist, and the birth of the Saviour of the world to the virgin in Nazareth.
