Biographical & Tradition
Belief in the existence of angels is a dogma of the Church and a fundamental part of the Christian faith. While three Archangels are named in the canon of Scripture, the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches recognize at least seven Archangels by name (and sometimes an eighth, St. Jeremiel). We are proud to offer unique representations of all eight Archangels, artfully designed from photographs of icons, stained glass windows, and church paintings from around the world. These images are curated to provide a beauty that surpasses standard icon reproductions.
St. Barachiel is the powerful intercessor for families and the "Domestic Church." His name reflects his role as the distributor of God’s blessings. He is most often depicted with roses or petals falling around him - symbolizing the graces of God - or holding a bread basket, signifying the "staff of life" and the duties of Christian parenthood. He is the patron of the Sacrament of Matrimony and is a devoted guardian for converts, those struggling with infertility, troubled marriages, or family life. No matter how many Archangels you recognize, we are never to worship them, as worship is reserved only for God in the Most Holy Trinity.
Artisan Design Details
This Orthodox Icon Edition magnet features a circular devotional image framed by an elegant golden filigree border. Our studio utilizes a specialized digital restoration and composition process to revitalize the colors and sharpen the details of original sacred icons. This ensures a vibrant, high-clarity image that honors traditional Eastern iconography while offering a unique, lifelike depth. Every magnet is inscribed with the Saint’s name and the Latin phrase "Ora Pro Nobis" (Pray for Us).
