Larisa Seklitova Contemporary Russian Orthodox Icon, Michael the Archangel. Hand painted wooden icon.
In Russian Orthodoxy, Michael the Archangel is revered as a powerful protector and leader of the heavenly hosts, often portrayed as a warrior who defends the faithful against the forces of evil. He holds a special place in the spiritual life of the Church as the commander of God's army, symbolizing divine justice, strength, and the triumph of good over evil. Icons typically depict him in armor, holding a sword or spear, sometimes with a scroll or scales of judgment, emphasizing his role in spiritual warfare and the Last Judgment. Celebrated on November 21 (November 8 on the Julian calendar), his feast day is a significant observance in the Russian Orthodox liturgical year, marked by prayers seeking his intercession and protection. Michael is also considered a guardian of cities and nations, and many churches and monasteries in Russia are dedicated to him, reflecting his enduring importance in the Orthodox Christian tradition.
Icon Size: 11 x 13 3/4 in.
