Archangel Gabriel styled like a Spanish grandee, wears a hat with a broad brim and brocade made of silk. He is youthful, dynamic and is a representative of the purity that God has created. The Book of Daniel is where Archangel Gabriel makes his first appearance. Another time he had appeared was when he announced John the Baptist’s birth in the Book of Zechariah. And for a third time he made an appearance before Mary to inform her that she would be Jesus’ mother. The feasting day of Archangel Gabriel is marked as September 29. The heavenly messenger is the patron saint of communications workers. This painting ‘Archangel Gabriel with Parchment and Pen III’ by Edgar Aguirre Gomez was inspired from paintings of the Cuzco School and costs $79.95.
