His name can be translated as "God Almighty is my strength". In Christian mythology, Archangel Gabriel imparts to the people the secret knowledge of God. His main task was to deliver good news and knowledge. The Church assumes that Archangel Gabriel knew all the Lord's mysteries, thanks to the prophecies that this messenger proclaimed. In Sacred Scriptures, this heavenly messenger is portrayed as the chief protector of humankind from the pernicious influence of the passions. He is considered a minister of wonderful accomplishments, a possessor of sacred knowledge, a messenger of joy and salvation. He is the patron saint of pregnancy and is asked for granting an offspring.
The elegantly themed box wrapping reflects Gabriel's energetic colour of white, which symbolizes harmony and holiness.
