The holiday was established on Mount Athos in the 9th century on the occasion of the appearance of the archangel Gabriel in a cell near Karelia, where he wrote with his finger on a stone the hymn to the Mother of God "It is worthy". This archangel told the prophet Moses how the world was created, which he recorded in the Book of Genesis, the prophet Daniel the secrets of future kingdoms and the coming of the Savior, Saint Anne that she would give birth to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, the high priest Zechariah that he would have a son, John the Forerunner, to the Holy Virgin in Nazareth he announced the conception and birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, and appeared to the righteous Joseph, then to the shepherds near Bethlehem, to the Lord Himself in the Garden of Gethsemane, to the myrrh-bearing women, etc.
