Jegudiel (Hebrew: יַחְדִּיאֵל Yaḥdīʾēl, "God is One"),[1] also known as Saint Iehudiel, is one of the seven Archangels in Eastern Orthodox tradition.

[2] He is often depicted in iconography holding a crown and a three-thonged whip[3] in hand, which symbolizes reward from God for the righteous and punishment for the sinners.

Jegudiel is the patron of all who work in some field of endeavor, and the crown he holds symbolizes the reward for successful spiritual labors.

Jegudiel is also known as the bearer of God's merciful love and also an angel over Friday.

[citation needed] With regard to the history of the archangel's name, it is thought to have first been mentioned in the non canonical Book of Enoch between 130 BC and 68 AD.
