The Great Archangel Michael

Regular price $59.00

The Holy Archangel Michael is one of the most well-known angels, serving as the Commander of the Heavenly Hosts and protector of the faithful on Earth. The name Michael means “who is like God?” and appeared several times in the Old Testament, including the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt (in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, leading them from slavery to the promised land) and in the book of Joshua’s account of the fall of Jericho. The Archangel Michael is also venerated by Orthodox Christians worldwide, especially the Greeks and the Russians, for his intercessions and interventions on behalf of humanity and the faithful over the centuries. He is also beloved among Roman Catholics.

This is one of our most striking representations of the Archangel Michael. In his right hand, Michael holds a flaming sword, referring to his role as Chief Commander of the Heavenly Hosts and in his left hand he holds scales of judgment, referring to his role of leading the souls of the departed to the next life. As always, the Archangel Michael is depicted in full armor and, uniquely, he wears an icon medallion on his chest bearing an image of the Holy Trinity. This icon comes in several sizes, suitable for a place of protection in the home, workplace or vehicle, making a wonderful gift for any family member or loved one.

This icon is made of solid, natural Limewood that has been prepared by hand using traditional methods and organic materials. The background is comprised of 22 Karat gold leaves that were meticulously applied by hand, piece by piece.  

All of our icons are reproduced according to museum print standards and are authentic replicas of Holy Icons from Mount Athos and elsewhere.

Saint Michael the Archangel, Defend Us in Battle!

The colors in this icon are so vibrant! We were just thrilled to find this treasure. We ordered one for ourselves and one for friends of ours who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They love it, and so do we! Thank you, Athonite!
