Angel of Sacrifice

Faith Q&A › Metropolitan Youssef › St. Mary and the Saints › Angel of Sacrifice

The question

Have you ever seen the angel of the Sacrifice?

The answer

We believe that the angel of the Sacrifice is present by the altar during the Divine Liturgy even if we do not see him. There have been occasions when the angel of Sacrifice did reveal himself to the bishop or the priest during the Divine Liturgy, but this is not a rule or a common occurrence.
