The Archangel Gabriel is the messenger of the Incarnation. It is he who was sent to Nazareth to announce to Mary that she had been chosen to be the Mother of God. In this icon he wears the garb of a messenger from the imperial Byzantine court, including a small crown tied with green ribbons that are still fluttering in the air after his flight from heaven.
