On this day, his appearances throughout the history of human salvation are celebrated. The holiday was established on Mount Athos in the 9th century on the occasion of the appearance of the Archangel Gabriel in the cell near Karea, where he wrote the poem "Dostojno est" to the Mother of God with his finger on a stone. This archangel told the prophet Moses how the world was created, which he wrote down in the book of Genesis, to the prophet Daniel the secrets about the future kingdoms and the coming of the Savior, to Saint Anna that she would give birth to the most blessed Virgin Mary, to the high priest Zechariah that his son John the Forerunner would be born to him, to St. He announced the conception and birth of the Lord Jesus Christ to the virgin in Nazareth, and appeared to the righteous Joseph, then to the shepherds at Bethlehem, to the Lord himself in the Garden of Gethsemane, to the myrrh-bearing women, etc.
