Description

This stunning and unique Russian icon depicts the Archangel Michael in his role as chief of the bodiless powers of heaven. Painted in a traditional style in the early 19th century, it includes Christ at the top overseeing the countless rows of the nine hierarchies of angels. Michael the Archangel rests in the center, holding up a flaming sword in his right hand and an orb in his left, symbolizing the authority delegated to him by the Lord of Hosts as chief defender and intercessor for the Church. This icon gives a glimpse into the eternal realities of the vast spiritual nature of the universe and is a constant reminder that “if God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

The Archangel Michael is the warrior of God, and in any given instance of heavenly warfare is likely present fighting for Him. In icons, Michael can always be identified by his soldier's attire, his armor, and the sword he wields. Also, Michael is frequently clothed in some shade of red. The color red can symbolize power, war, blood, and sacrifice: all appropriate to the angel who is engaged in warfare. His liturgical hymns refer to him as "the Commander of the bodiless hosts." He holds a flaming sword in one hand, a reference to the angel who guards the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis, and an orb in his other hand, symbolizing his authority as the supreme Archangel.

    The most beautiful icon I’ve ever laid eyes on

    Posted by John on Jun 18th 2021

    It is humbling to be in possession of, in my opinion, the most beautiful icon I’ve ever seen. Legacy Icons is the only place I go to purchase icons and they, once again, did not disappoint! I have three of their icons and will be buying more in the near future!
