Gabriel as the genius of spring
J. H. Hill names Gabriel as the spring genius of the four Chaldean corner-keepers. He ties the Annunciation on 25 March to the day the spring genius greets Virgo, and the trumpet of Gabriel to the ram's horn blown when the vernal equinox leaves Aries.
Those are his arguments, set inside his larger reading of the church calendar as the solar year.
The Annunciation and its date
The church keeps the Annunciation on 25 March, nine months before 25 December. Hill lists the Annunciation and the Resurrection on the same day, 25 March, and sets them at the spring equinox. See Why Christmas Is on December 25 and Why Easter Moves for the calendar arguments.
