The Holy '''Prophet Haggai''', or "Aggaeos" in Greek, is the tenth of the [[Prophet|Twelve Minor Prophets]]. He was born of the Tribe of Levi during the [[Babylonian Captivity]] and was the first prophet to preach after the return from captivity in approximately 538 B.C.
His name is interpreted as "Feast of Yahweh" in the Synaxarion, and as "Banqueter" by [[Ambrose of Milan|Saint Ambrose]].
The Prophet Haggai is also referenced in [[Esdras]].
