Gabriel visited Mary to tell her that she had been chosen to bear Jesus (Luke 1:26-38). The angel who announced the birth of Christ to the shepherds is not named (Luke2:8-15). Matthew's gospel doesn't name any of the angels involved in events surrounding Jesus' birth. Mark and John do not record these angelic visits.
The angel who announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds was an angel of the Lord.
It was the angels who announced it to the shepherds.
The angel that came to Mary.
The biblical account (Luke 2:8-15) does not provide the name of the angel who announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.
------------------------ In Matthew's Gospel, the angel announced the coming of Jesus only to Joseph. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In Luke's Gospel, the angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus only to Mary. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Joseph. This difference reflects the independence of the two nativity stories from each other.
He was circumcized and given the name the angel had announced, Jesus.
The Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. Hope this helped :)
After Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the shepherds were the first to visit him, according to the New Testament. The angels announced the birth to the shepherds, who then went to see Jesus in the manger.
The angel that appeared to the shepherds in the biblical story of the birth of Jesus is known as the Angel of the Lord.
They both represent something from the story in the bible about Jesus' birth. Since Christmas is the celebration of the birth of God's son, the star represents the North star which the three wise men followed to find baby Jesus' birth place in Bethlehem. The angel represents the angel Gabriel who came to Mary to alert her to the fact she was carrying God's son and was to name him Jesus.
An angel announced Jesus conception and birth. (Luke 1:30,31; 2:10,11) Angels ministered to him after the 40-day fast. (Matthew 4:11) An angel strengthened Jesus when he prayed in Gethsemane on his final night as a human. (Luke 22:43)
The only two archangels who are named in the Bible are Michael and Gabriel. Gabriel announced Jesus' conception and his birth. Michael was identified as the fallen angel.
