The image for this icon was taken from the 12th century mosaic in Duomo di Cefalu, Sicily.

 The Holy Archangel Gabriel (the name Gabriel comes from the Hebrew meaning "Man of God," "God is mighty" or "the strength/power of God") appears numerous times in the Holy Scripture: he explains to Daniel the meaning of his vision (Daniel 8:16-19) and announces the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus in the Gospel of Luke.  Thus his primary role has been called one of announcing the salvation of mankind.

 Kontakion, Tone 8 

Supreme commander Gabriel, you are the glorious intercessor and servant before the all-radiant, worthy, all-powerful, infinite and awesome Trinity. Ever pray now that we may be delivered from all tribulations and torments, so that we may cry out to you: "Rejoice, protection of your servants!"
