Nov 8 –  Seven Holy Archangels Day (Orthodox Christian).  The seven original Archangels to the Eastern Orthodox Church are:  Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and the fallen Lucifer.  Lucifer lost his place to another Archangel but the various lists can’t make their minds up about the name of the new archangel.  Baracael, Ieadiel, Sealtiel, Peliel, and Gamael are some of the possibilities.  The Book of Enoch says:  The big four plus Raguel, Sariel, and Jerahmeel, while from other apocryphal sources we get the variant names Izidkiel, Hanael, and Kepharel instead of the last three.
