If you suddenly woke up one day to find yourself pregnant, especially if you were still a virgin, wouldn't you want to have a heavenly messenger, or anybody for that matter, tell you why?

Only one angel is mentioned in the Gospel according to Luke. The angel Gabriel was sent to a virgin named Mary to announce to her that she would be the mother of Jesus.
The word "angel" comes from Greek and simply means messenger. The Bible uses angels (and also dreams) to indicate times when people felt inspired by God to do something.
The word translated as "virgin" means a young unmarried girl. Mary was engaged, but not yet married, to Joseph.
The name Jesus means "he who saves". The angel's message to Mary was thus that her son would save people from their sins and reconcile them with God.

Gabriel(I think) came to Mary as the messenger of God to tell her that God had chosen her to be the mother of the savior. That she must call Him Emmanuel, uhhh...and a bunch of other stuff...
