Archangel Selaphiel Framed Canvas Icon

Archangel Selaphiel, whose name signifies Prayer of God, is venerated within Orthodox tradition as the angel particularly entrusted with encouraging the faithful toward prayer and with presenting their petitions before the throne of God. He is traditionally depicted with his head bowed and his hands crossed reverently upon his breast, an image of humility intended to instruct the faithful in the proper disposition of one who comes before the Almighty in prayer. Counted among the seven archangels celebrated each November in the Synaxis of the Bodiless Powers, Selaphiel stands as a reminder that prayer itself is not merely a human effort but a labour assisted and accompanied by the angelic host. Though little is recorded of him within the canonical Scriptures by name, the Church has long held that his ministry touches every soul that turns toward God in earnest supplication.

“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar.” (Revelation 8:3)

O holy Archangel Selaphiel, angel of prayer, teach us to stand before God with the same humility and reverence thou dost show, and carry our own petitions before His throne. Amen.
