Archangel Lucifer

Lucifer is traditionally known as a fallen archangel in Christian theology, often associated with pride and rebellion against God. The name "Lucifer," meaning "light-bringer" in Latin, originally referred to the morning star (Venus) and was later linked to the figure described in Isaiah 14:12, interpreted by some as Satan’s fall from heaven. In Christian tradition, Lucifer was once a high-ranking angel who, due to his pride and desire to rival God, was cast out of heaven along with his followers.

Over time, Lucifer became synonymous with Satan, representing the embodiment of evil and temptation in Christian belief. However, interpretations of Lucifer vary, with some esoteric traditions viewing him as a symbol of enlightenment and free will rather than absolute evil. His story has influenced literature, theology, and philosophy, shaping the broader understanding of good and evil within religious and cultural narratives.
