Archangel Selaphiel

The Archangel Selaphiel is a prayerful servant of God, urging people to pray for salvation and health. His name, translated from Hebrew, means 'prayer to God.' He appeared to Hagar in the desert when she was suffering and told her that the Lord had heard her suffering. He also appeared to her during her exile from Abraham, comforting her and assuring her that a great nation would come from her son. The Archangel Selaphiel is depicted with his face bowed down and his hands folded in prayer on his chest, reminding us of the importance of prayer. He calls us to the purity of hearts and fervent prayer to God.
