Description
This unique historic Byzantine icon of the 12th century depicts the Holy Michael in his role as defender of and intercessor for the church. Here, he greets a ‘lowly’ church warden (in comparison to the glorious archangel!) in response to supplications for prayer. In a distinct early style, this meeting between angelic being and human is a vivid reminder of angels’ roles in the life of the Church.
Michael description: All angels in icons are dressed as humans, in clothing accented with gold, the color of holiness and Heaven.
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 and often by the sword he wields. In this icon, we see Holy Michael as the archangel who intercedes and cares for God’s people.
