Description
This stunning historic Russian icon depicts the Archangel Michael. He wears festal robes of scarlet (his traditional color) and carries a scepter in his right hand, symbolizing his authority as chief of the bodiless powers of heaven. This icon is a faithful reproduction of the 15th century original by the renowned Russian iconographer St. Andrei Rublev.
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."
