Saint Jehudiel (also Jhudiel or Jegudiel) is one of seven Archangels in Eastern Orthodox tradition. Often depicted holding a crown and a three-thonged whip, he is the patron of all workers. The crown he holds is a symbol of the reward for successful spiritual labors. Along with his subordinate angels, Jehudiel is the advisor and defender of all who work in positions of responsibility to the glory of God, and is resorted to by judges, kings, and others in leadership positions. He is also known as the bearer of God's merciful love and angel over Friday, as each of the seven Catholic archangels are paired with a day of the week.
Archangels are members of the second choir of angels. They are found in a number of religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. Michael is the only archangel named in the Bible as recognized by both Catholic and Protestant denominations. Gabriel, named in Luke, is considered to be an archangel, as are Raphael (mentioned in the Book of Tobit) and Uriel (mentioned in the Book of Enoch). The Book of Tobit is included in the Catholic Canon of the Bible, but is considered apocryphal by Protestants. The archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are venerated in the Roman Catholic Church with a feast on September 29th. The named Archangels in Islam are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Azrael.
Cold Cast is a modern method of casting sculptures using a mixture of resin and powdered polymer materials. The finished sculpture has a surface which looks very similar to traditionally cast material, but tends to be much lighter.
