天使长加百列
The Synaxis of the Holy Archangel Gabriel is also celebrated on July 13. All the angels are commemorated on November 8.
加百列宣布了上帝之子道成肉身的消息。加百列是站在上帝宝座前的七个天使长之一。加百列向匝哈利亚显现，告诉他前驱者施浸约安的出生。加百列这样形容自己：“我是站在上帝面前的加百列”（路喀福音／路加1：19）。加百列这个名字的意思是“人－神”。在谈到向圣母报喜这事件时，圣神父们是这样解释的：上帝派出天使长宣布了基督的身份与样式，以及其母亲必须要圣洁无暇。因此，基督就是全能的上帝，以人的样式道成了肉身。有的圣父领悟到：同样是加百列也向约基姆和安娜显现，宣布了童女玛利亚的出生，同时，在旷野中指示摩伊息斯书写《创世纪》的也是天使长加百列。圣父们认为，加百列在天国众天使中排在前列，因为这些天使最靠近上帝，站在上帝的旁边。这七个天使的名字是弥哈伊尔、加百列、拉斐尔、乌列、萨拉蒂耶尔、捷古蒂耶尔、巴拉基耶尔，后来又加上了第八位天使杰里米耶尔。每个天使有自己的职责，但是他们的荣耀是等同的。为什么上帝没有派遣弥哈伊尔呢？因为弥哈伊尔的使命是与上帝的敌人争战，而加百列的使命是宣布人类的救赎计划。
Faithful to its custom of celebrating, on the day following the feasts of Our Lord and Our Lady, the memory of the Saints who have closely participated in the mystery, the Byzantine Church today institutes a synaxis in honor of the Archangel Gabriel who was the God-bearer and God-chosen minister to announce the divine, supernatural, and ineffable mystery of the Incarnation of the Word to the Most Holy Virgin. The Prologue gives the following teaching: The herald of the incarnation of the Son of God, he is one of the seven great angels who stand before the throne of God. He revealed to Zacharias the birth of the Forerunner, and said of himself: "I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God" (Lk. 1:19). His name, Gabriel, signifies "man of God". Speaking about the Annunciation, the holy Fathers comment that an angel with such a name was sent to signify who He was, and of what nature He was, who would be born of the most pure Virgin. He would be the Man of God, the Man-God, the strong and mighty God. Others have found that it was this same Gabriel who announced the conception of the Virgin Mary to Joachim and Anna, and that it was he who taught Moses in the wilderness to write the Book of Genesis. The holy Fathers consider that Gabriel belongs to the foremost and highest order of the heavenly powers, the seraphim, since the seraphim stand closest to God. And so he is one of the seven seraphim closest to God. The names of these seven are: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selathiel, Jegudiel and Barachiel. Some would add Jeremiel to this number. Each has his own particular service, but all are equal in honour. Why did God not send Michael? For the reason that Michael's service is the suppression of the enemies of God's truth, while Gabriel's is the annunciation of the salvation of the human race.

Saint Stephen the Confessor was Abbot of Triglia Monastery in Bithynia during the reign of the iconoclast emperor Leo the Armenian (813-820). From a young age, the holy ascetic dedicated his life to God and received monastic tonsure. He later became abbot of the Triglia Monastery in Bithynia. When persecution was restored against holy icons under Emperor Leo, Saint Stephen was summoned for questioning, and they tried to force him to sign a document rejecting the veneration of icons. Saint Stephen steadfastly refused to betray Orthodoxy and he boldly denounced the emperor for his impiety. They subjected the Saint to cruel torments, after which they sent him to prison in the year 815. Weakened and sick, the Holy Confessor Stephen soon died in prison from his sufferings.
