Saint Archangel Michael Icon

This is a silkscreen reproduction with gold leaf and hand-painted details, crafted according to tradition. It depicts Saint Archangel Michael (also known as Mikhael, Mihail, Gavriil’s companion in battle), the leader of the heavenly hosts and chief commander of the angelic armies. He is venerated throughout the Orthodox Church as a protector of Christians, a defender against evil, and a messenger of God’s justice.

In iconography, Archangel Michael is shown as a mighty warrior, often with a sword or spear, trampling the devil underfoot. His presence represents divine protection, strength, and victory over evil.

In the Orthodox calendar, Archangel Michael is commemorated on November 8, the Synaxis of the Archangels and all the Bodiless Powers of Heaven. He is also honored on many local feast days dedicated to him as protector of towns and villages.

The icon of Saint Archangel Michael (Mikhael, Mihail) is one of the most traditional and powerful gifts in Orthodoxy. It is especially meaningful for new homes, families seeking protection, travelers, soldiers, and name day celebrations. Many Orthodox Christians place his icon at the entrance of the home as a sign of divine guarding.
