Description
Veronese Design Archangel Saint Michael Vanquishing Demon Figurine #WU78130AC.
St. Michael is one of the Archangels, whose name means "Who Is Like God?" This phrase also serves as the battle cry of the Army of God. The term "angel" refers to a heavenly spirit that delivers divine messages, while "Archangel" signifies a bearer of messages of great significance. Devotional writings about Michael can be found across Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cultures, where he is regarded as the guardian angel of Israel. He has led God's Army in battles against the forces of the great dragon and concealed the tomb of Moses to prevent the Jewish people from falling into hero-worship, a sin that Satan aimed to induce. Michael is often depicted in full armor, wielding a lance or sword, and standing triumphantly over the dragon's neck.
