Barachiel (Hebrew: בַּרַכְאֵל Baraḵʾēl, "God has blessed"),[1] also known as Barakel, is one of the Archangels in Judaism, as well as Byzantine Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition.

[4] The scattering of rose petals was to symbolize or represent God's sweet blessings showering down on people.

Barachiel is also depicted holding a bread basket or a staff, both of which symbolize the blessings of children that God bestows on parents.

He is seen as an official saint in Byzantine Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition, in particular a patron of family and married life.

[2] The Third Book of Enoch describes Archangel Barachiel as one of the Princes of the Host, who is appointed over the second heaven which is in the height of (Merom) Raqia.
