You can't keep a good archangel down

Not content with crowding the ecclesiastical calendar yesterday, on his feast day, the saint and archangel Gabriel resurfaces today. Everybody's favorite messenger archangel receives honors today for his walk-on role in the Greatest Story Ever Told. That's because today is the Feast of the Annunciation, when Gabe strolled up to a young lady named Mary and said, in Aramaic, "You'll never guess who's expecting a baby!"

Our congratulations to the proud parents and the babe in question, and all his fans, and naturally, to Gabriel for being the bearer of glad tidings.
