The use of intercessory beings in prayer hasn't always been the
normal accepted practice. As Christianity and paganism began to
merge under the rule of the Byzantine Empire, many elements that
existed within paganism were "Christianized" and adapted for use by
the Church. This article will trace a possible origin for the use
of intercessory beings in Christian prayer and will use evidence
from the scriptures and non-canonical Christian books to weigh the
use of intercessory beings against prayer directed specifically to
God. Sources include the Book of Tobit, the story of Joseph and
Aseneth, the Book of Daniel, the parable of the Rich Man and
Lazarus, and the appearances of the Archangel Gabriel in the New
Testament.
