'''[[Archangel Uriel]]''' is one of the [[archangels]] prominently mentioned in the post-exilic rabbinic tradition and in certain [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions. He is well known in the Russian Orthodox tradition and in folk Catholicism (in both of which he is considered to be one of the seven major archangels) and recognized in the Anglican Church as the fourth archangel. In the [[hierarchy of angels]], Uriel does not rule over one of the 9 choirs, but is the prince of the triplicity of Innocents, Martyrs, and Confessors.

It was Uriel who checked the doors of Egypt for lamb's blood during the plague. He also holds the key to the Pit during the End Times, and led Abraham to the west. In the ''Secret Book of John'', an early Gnostic work, Uriel is placed in control over the [[demon]]s who help Yaldabaoth create Adam.
