ARCHANGEL MEANS “CHIEF ANGEL” Archangel Michael is named the leader of the heavenly armies—Saint Michael and Saint Gabriel arethe only Archangels mentioned by name in the Bible. Michael may be the most popular Byzantine icon of all Guardian Angels and the principal messenger of God. We often refer to Archangel Michael as “the Angel of the Lord.” He is concerned with protection, truth, integrity, and courage. He is the strongest of the four archangels, protecting and defending the seven virtues: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. He upholds humanity’s desire for truth and justice through conscience and awareness.  9"X13"
