Sandalphon (Hebrew: סַנְדַּלְפוֹן Sandalp̄ōn; Sandalphṓn) is an archangel in Jewish and Christian writings, although not in scripture. Sandalphon figures prominently in the mystical literary traditions of Rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity, notably in the Midrash, Talmud, and Kabbalah and is generally seen as gathering prayers and passing them on to God.
