Did you know that Archangel Gabriel was depicted with a shield featuring an engraved X? Also Archangel Gabriel is a channel, a communicator and messenger of the highest order.

The name Gabriel means “Man of God” in Hebrew or “God has shown might.”  He is often depicted with a spear in his right hand and a mirror of jasper with an X (the first letter of the word Christ in Greek) in his left hand.  The mirror signifies the wisdom of God as a hidden mystery.
