The Commemoration of the Archangel Gabriel, the Announcer of Daniel the Prophet . On this day also, the church in Egypt celebrates a feast for the honorable angel Gabriel . Theangel Gabriel announced Daniel with the return of the children of Israel from captivity, the comingof the Lord Christ, the time of His coming, that He would be killed, the destruction of Jerusalem,and that no other Messiah would come after Him except the anti-Christ . This angel is the one whoannounced to Zachariah the birth of John, and six months later, he came with the glad tidings ofthe salvation of the world when he announced to the Virgin Mary saying, "And behold, you willconceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS . He will be great,and will be called the Son of the Highest; . . . And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever,and of His kingdom there will be no end ." (Luke 1:31-33) Therefore, our church has arranged thisfeast to venerate this honorable angel .May his intercession be with us and Glory be to God forever . Amen .
