Archangel Michael of the Apocalypse No. 1 | Canvas Icono-Graphic | Orthodox Christian Art

“And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

- Revelation 12:7-9

☦️

“Seeing thy boldness against the legions of Satan, all the ranks of the angels strove with joy to follow thee into battle for the name and glory of their Master, crying aloud: Who is like unto God? And knowing that Satan was cast down beneath thy feet, we cry out to thee as victor:

Rejoice, thou through whom peace and tranquility were established in Heaven!

Rejoice, thou by whom the spirits of evil were put down even unto hades!

Rejoice, thou who dost direct the angelic armies and the hosts of the invisible world to the destruction of evil!

Rejoice, thou who, unseen, dost quell the strife and turmoil of the elements of the visible world!

Rejoice, wondrous defender of them that wage warfare against the spirits of evil under the heavens!

Rejoice, strong helper of them that weaken amid the temptations and dangers of this age!

Rejoice, O Michael, great supreme commander, with all the hosts of Heaven!”

- Akathist to Archangel Michael, Ikos 4
