MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS
Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are the three named biblical angels, depicted as the belovèd messengers of God. Michael, which means 'who is like God?’ is described as protector of Israel and leader of the armies of God. He is also known as the slayer of the dragon in the Revelation to John. He is thus regarded as the protector of Christians from the devil, particularly those at the hour of death. On 30 September in the fifth century a basilica near Rome was dedicated in honour of Michael. The festivities began on the eve of that day and in the western church this day is kept in honour of Michael and all Angels.
