Gabriel's Message

Gabriel's Message

Gabriel's Message, or The angel Gabriel from heaven came ( _eu. Birjina gaztettobat zegoen) is a Basque Christmas folk carol about the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. It quotes the biblical account of that event (Luke, Chapter 1, verses 26-38) and Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1.46-55).

It was translated into English by Sabine Baring-Gould and is best known from that version. It was also made famous on the album "A Very Special Christmas", as performed by recording artist Sting, who in his version replaces the word "Christian" with the word "everyone".
