Pope Shenouda III

Not only did the Virgin receive veneration from the human race but she also received it from the angels,

. This is clear from Angel Gabrielle’s greeting to her. He said: "Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" (Lk.1: 28) The phrase "Blessed are you among
women" was repeated by Elizabeth in her greeting to the Virgin Mary (Lk.1: 42). In addressing Virgin Mary, Archangel Gabriel used more glorious and venerating manner of speech, more than what was used for Zacharias the priest (Lk1: 13).
