The Archangel Gabriel.
Catholics believe that Mary was born without sin (the Immaculate Conception), since Jesus would otherwise have inherited original sin from his mother. Against this, Luke 1:30 says the angel told Mary that she had found favour with God, implying that it was not pre-ordained (as the Immaculate Conception would imply) for Mary to be the mother of Jesus.
According to Christian belief, Mary became the mother of God at the moment of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel informed her that she would conceive Jesus through the Holy Spirit. This event is celebrated on March 25th in the Christian calendar as the Feast of the Annunciation.
