Jegudiel — also Jehudiel or Iegudiel — is one of the seven archangels of Eastern Orthodox and Coptic veneration, alongside Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Phanuel, and Barachiel. His name in Hebrew means 'Praise of God,' and his particular ministry concerns those who labor in their vocation for the glory of God: he encourages, supports, and intercedes for the faithful at work in their calling, and is invoked especially by rulers, judges, and any who carry responsibility for others.
He is not named in the Protestant or deuterocanonical canon. His veneration is rooted in early Eastern liturgical tradition and the broader inheritance of the angelology recorded by the Cappadocian Fathers and developed in the synaxaria of the Byzantine Church.
Iconographically, Jegudiel is shown holding two objects: a golden crown in his right hand — the reward of those who persevere faithfully in their work — and a three-thonged whip in his left, signifying the correction by which God draws the faithful back when they stray from their calling. The pairing captures the substance of his ministry: the encouragement to faithfulness and the discipline that, in love, redirects.
