Description
This icon from Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Washington, DC, depicts the synaxis (assembly) of the holy Angels and Archangels.
At the center is an orb containing Christ as a youth, known in iconography as Emmanuel. Nearest to Christ are the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, who holds orbs reading IC XC ("Jesus Christ"). In the back row are the other four traditional Archangels, left to right, Jegudiel, Selaphiel, Uriel, and Barachiel. Holding Christ's orb is a Seraph, with two Cherubim besides. As there are an immense number of Angels whose names are not known to us, there are additional obscured angels in background, representing them.
All of the angels' names come from Hebrew, and they mean the following: Michael, Who is like God?; Gabriel, Man of God; Raphael, Healing of God; Uriel, Light of God; Selaphiel, Intercessor of God; Jegudiel, Glorifier of God; Barachiel, Blessing of God. Other ranks of angels include the Seraphim, Burning Ones, and the Cherubim, Mighty Ones. The feast of the Archangels and Bodiless Powers is celebrated November 8.
