He is one of three angels known by name from Sacred Scripture. The other two archangels known by name in the Bible are [[Raphael (archangel)|St. Raphael]] and [[Gabriel (archangel)|St. Gabriel]]. St. Raphael is known by name only in the [[Book of Tobit]] in the Old Testament of the Bible in the Septuagint since the 1st century B.C. and in the Vulgate. Martin Luther removed the Book of Tobit from the Old Testament in the 16th century and placed it in the Apocrypha. The name of Raphael is not found in the canon of the Protestant Bible. The feast days of these three archangels in the Catholic Church were originally celebrated separately, but have been combined on September 29th as the Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels. In the Orthodox Church the Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and the Other Bodiless Powers is commemorated on November 8.
