Celebration of Saints Michael and Gabriel


The Orthodox and the Greek-Catholics celebrated on Sunday the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, considered, in the Christian tradition, the leaders of the armies of angels and soul guides to the faithful on their way to Paradise. Archangel Gabriel, whose name translates into “My defender is God,” is considered the messenger of the good news. He announced to Saints Parents Joachim and Ana the birth of Virgin Mary. The good news – the birth of the Saviour – reads the Holy Bible, was brought to the Virgin Mary by the same Archangel Gabriel. According to the Christian tradition, Archangel Gabriel was the angel dressed in white who overturned the stone placed on the door to the grave of Christ, and is acknowledged as a witness to the resurrection of God. Gabriel is represented in icons as the carrier of a divine sign – a lily. Over 1,280,000 Romanians celebrated on Sunday their name day, on the occasion of the celebration of Saints Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
