Great video. Thanks for posting. Just one point though - Er, Gabriel is an angel an not an archangel (many hold this misconception - not sure where/how it started). If you check a bible (found in the original KJV perhaps not later interpretations/translations) you'll find there are many of them, however the only archangel whose name is mentioned is .... Michael (See the book of Daniel for a mention there). God bless. :-)
@Nibbler800 : good spot, yes I did draw more inspiration from Michael than Gabriel, to be honest (he is my namesake, after all!), hence the somewhat more warrior-esque theme with armour and sword-in-hand - unfortunately Michael is decidedly absent from the nativity narrative, so Gabriel it had to be! Perhaps a trumpet would have been a more appropriate accessory (although that's not strictly biblical either!).
p.s. and of course, I defer to the superlative KJV translation! ;o)
Thanks for taking the time to respond Mike :-) Have a great Christmas!
