The angel Gabriel is the herald of visions, messenger of God and one of the angels of higher rank. He makes God's message understandable to people and helps them to accept it with a pure heart. Until 1970, Catholics celebrated the feast of the Archangel on March 24. Today, the highest-ranking angel is commemorated in the church together with the Archangels Michael and Raphael on September 29 (Archangel's Day).
