Veronese Design Bronze Finish Archangel St. Michael In Armor Holding Shield and Sword Statue

St. Michael is one of the Archangels. "Michael" means "Who is Like God?" and is the battle cry of the Army of God. The word "angel" depicts the occasion in which a heavenly spirit delivers messages of God. Archangel denotes carrier of messages that are of great importance. Devotional writings about Michael can be found in Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cultures. He is considered the guardian Angel of Israel. He has led God's Army against those of the great dragon. He concealed the tomb of Moses to prevent the Jews from the sin of hero-worship, the sin which Satan had hoped to lead them to commit. Michael is often illustrated wearing full armor, carrying a lance or a sword, and stepping on the neck of the dragon. This wonderfully crafted cold cast bronze statue measures 11 inches high, 8 inches long and 3.5 inches wide, and depicts Michael standing up with his wings fully unfurled holding a shield and sword.
