St Peter’s Anglican Church

St Michael and All Angels - September 29

Michaelmas

Michael is one of only three angels mentioned by name in the Bible. Furthermore, Michael is mentioned only three times in the Old Testament (Daniel), and twice in the New Testament (Jude & Revelation). Nevertheless, Michael became one of the most popular of angelic figures, and is closely associated with ideas of triumph and vindication of the saints of God. There are many churches dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. The name “Michael” means “Who is like God?”

The development of the figure of Michael is part of the development of angelology in Judaism towards the end of the Old Testament period. Read more...
