It is said that he carefully spends the nine months of the pregnancy watching over each unborn child
and instructing that child on the necessary knowledge of Heaven that is an inherent part of all people.

on the upper lip to make the child unable to remember
all of the information about Heaven until the child
returns to the spiritual state at death.
The sign of Gabriel's Touch
is the cleft just below the nose.
