Aphrodite: The Goddess of...
Aphrodite is an ancient Greek goddess associated with love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation.
In the Abrahamic religions,
Gabriel is an archangel who appears in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran. In the Hebrew Bible, Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions. The archangel also appears in the Book of Enoch and other ancient Jewish writings. Alongside the archangel Michael, Gabriel is described as the guardian angel of Israel, defending its people against the angels of the other nations. Gabriel is also translated as "strength of God" in some languages. The Gospel of Luke relates the stories of the Annunciation, in which the angel Gabriel appears to Zechariah and the Virgin Mary, foretelling the births of John the Baptist and Jesus, respectively. Many Christian traditions, including Anglicanism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism, revere Gabriel as a saint. The trope of Gabriel blowing a trumpet blast to indicate the Lords return to Earth is especially familiar in Spirituals.
