Who is Gabriel the Angel in the Bible ? 

Different translations render the story of Gabriel Angel in the bible versions depending on denomination, early christianity , medieval adaptations and common church traditions.  On my pilgrimage to Winchester cathedral on the pilgrims way, I noticed that the angels are rendered in all sorts of different art styles in church stained glass windows, often influenced by the sponsor of a chapel , the memorial wishes of a patron or the time period the christian art was rendered in. May symbols are hidden when it was not safe to display them openly , particularly during the reformation many details could be found to be scratched out or overpainted. So for me, a comparative bible study approach , especially contemplating a wide variety of art interpretations and symbolic definitions found in old bible dictionaries, antique bible in pilgrimage churches and  journey through christian art where I learn about who was the angel gabriel and what is the gabriel angel meaning for me today.

Who was the Angel Gabriel in Christian Art ?

• Pictures of Gabriel the Angel
  There are many illustrations to be found in old antiqiue bibles rendered in highly detailed woodcuts or simple explanatory line drawings. On my pilgrimages I love nothing more than finding an old hidden tiny church in the welsh mountains , with an old dusty welsh bible stacked in the pews , yet full of wonderful victorian bible illustrations. Many a happy contemplative prayer hour is spent perusing these treasures , I will share my favourites here as I bible study. Art museums are another place I love to explore, the Victoria and Albert museum and the National gallery with the old masters of christian art are always worth a visit.

This Church stained glass window was hidden on my phone as one of the first I ever took some 20 years ago. I managed to clean up the angel gabriel pics that are older, and remove some of the blurryness. I love the peacock feather details in the soft blue hues rendered here in the wings. One of the Flower symbol of angel gabriel is the Lily, here depicted as a pure white lily stem with 3 open blooms, often thought to be symbolic of the holy trininty, father, son and the Holy spirit.
