Archangel Michael

The Archangel Michael is one of the most revered angels, playing a vital role in the fate of the Church. He is depicted leading the fight against Satan’s forces and all forms of human wickedness. Archangel Michael is referred to in the scriptures as the “commander of the army of the Lord”, giving rise to his titular denomination of Taxiarch, meaning high-ranking warrior or military leader. The church honours Archangel Michael as a defender of the faith and a soldier in the fight against heresy and evil of all kinds.
