Seven Archangels
The concept of Seven Archangels is found in some works of early Jewish literature and in Christianity. In those texts, they are referenced as the angels who serve God directly. The Catholic Church venerates seven archangels: in the Latin Christianity three are invoked by name (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael) while the Eastern Catholic Churches name seven. The Lutheranism and the Anglicanism generally recognize three to five archangels: Michael and Gabriel, as well as Raphael, Uriel and Jerahmeel.
