The Eight Archangels are commemorated on the Feast of the Archangels. In parts of Oriental Orthodox Christianity and Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Eight Archangels may be honoured, including Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, as well as Salathiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel and Jeremiel (in the Coptic tradition the latter four are named as Surael, Sakakael, Sarathael and Ananael).
The Lutheran Churches and the Anglican Communion recognize three to five archangels: Michael and Gabriel, as well as Raphael, Uriel and Jerahmeel. The Catholic Church venerates seven archangels while in the Latin Rite only three are invoked by name ( Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael) in the Eastern Rites seven are named. In those texts, they are referenced as the angels who serve God directly. The concept of Seven Archangels is found in some works of early Jewish literature and in Christianity. Beneath the mandorla of Christ Emmanuel are representations of Cherubim (in blue) and Seraphim (in red). An Eastern Orthodox Church icon of the "Seven Archangels." From left to right: Jegudiel, Gabriel (גַּבְרִיאֵל), Selaphiel, Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Barachiel.
