[[Image:Michael Icon.jpg|right|thumb|A typical Russian icon of the Archangel Michael.O icoană rusească tipică a sfântului arhanghel Mihail]]{{Îngeri}}The Holy '''[[Archangel]] Michael''' is one of the most celebrated of the [[Angels]] and bodiless powers; he is called the ''Archistrategos'', or chief commander, of all the bodiless powers. According to [[Holy Scripture]] and [[Tradition]], he has interceded for humanity multiple times and continues to serve as the Defender of the Faith. St Michael is most often invoked for protection from invasion by enemies and from civil war, and for the defeat of adversaries on the field of battle. He is celebrated primarily on [[November 8]], the [[Synaxis]] of Michael and all the Bodiless Powers of Heaven; [[September 6]] also marks the miracle of the Archangel at Colossae.
