Sacerdotal

Sacerdotal is an adjective meaning "of priests; priestly."

As Zacharias was performing his sacerdotal duties, an angel appeared to him. (Luke 1:8-9)

Note: This painting of "The Angel Gabriel Appearing to Zacharias" is by William Blake (1757–1827) and is presently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
