The Archangel Michael, Commander of the Heavenly Host

The chief of the angels, Michael is depicted as a warrior in armor or court robes, often holding a sword or spear and a shield or orb. His name means 'Who is like God?' — a rhetorical question affirming that no one compares to the Almighty.

Michael leads the angels in the cosmic battle against evil and is the protector of the faithful. He is invoked for defense against spiritual enemies.
