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 the messages of God. Archangel denotes a carrier of the messages that are of great importance. Devotional writings can be found in Chrisitan, Jewish and Muslim 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 sword, and stepping on the neck of the dragon. This box is beautfully designed, sculpted and handcrafted to the finest detail in cold cast bronze finish.
