'''[[Gertrude the Great]]''' was a German Benedictine nun and mystic. She is recognized as a [[saint]] by the Catholic Church and by The Episcopal Church. In 1281, at the age of 25, she experienced the first of a series of visions that continued throughout her life, and which changed the course of her life. Her priorities shifted away from secular knowledge and toward the study of [[Bible|scripture]] and theology. Gertrude devoted herself strongly to personal prayer and [[meditation]], and began writing spiritual treatises for the benefit of her monastic sisters. Gertrude became one of the great mystics of the 13th century. Together with her friend and teacher Mechtilde, she practiced a spirituality called "nuptial mysticism," that is, she came to see herself as the Bride of [[Jesus Christ|Christ]].
'''[[Archangel Gabriel]]''' is an [[archangel]] with power to announce [[Yahweh|God's]] will to men. He is mentioned in the [[Bible|Hebrew Bible]], the New Testament, and the Quran. The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].
