In the Orthodox Church this Saint is revered as a very strong patron. According to references in Old Testament he was considered the supreme angel, who was able to stand at the head of a fierce struggle between light and dark forces, and also cast down the fiend of Satan to hell.
It was for these and many other miraculous acts concerning his protection that believers began to cry out to the Saint in a prayer service:
- Asking the intercessor to deliver from evil forces;
- Protect from the influence of sorcery, dishonest people and conspirators;
- Don't let demons take over your soul;
- And also protect from evil people.
It is worth noting that the divine image can also protect from such ill-wishers as rapists, ill-wishers, and thieves. But what is important, prayer from enemies to Michael the Archangel has a very strong influence, but only if a person sincerely asks.
In addition to the Supreme Angel, a prayer for protection can be said before many others miraculous images, such as the Heavenly Queen, to whom you can turn with any request, as well as some other Saints who received grace from the Lord for their actions to protect the Orthodox.
A prayer from enemies, as a rule, is said before leaving the house, but only in cases where the person asking may be in real or perceived danger.

On icons, the face of the saint is usually depicted in military armor with a sword or spear in his hand, since it is believed that it was he who first rallied the angels who did not choose the path of temptation to separate from their fallen representatives and follow the path of righteousness. As the leader of the Lord's army, Michael won the battle with Lucifer, casting down the demons into the depths of the underworld. This confrontation between light and dark continues to this day with the participation of every person.

Archangels are the supreme angels, who are God's highest creatures. A strong prayer to the archangels will help you overcome any life obstacles and difficulties.
The main archangel in Orthodox Christianity Michael is considered to be. Previously, we wrote about a strong prayer to Archangel Michael, which has been known since ancient times. It will help you ask God for mercy and give you faith and hope. Michael is the main messenger of Heaven, so many people pray to him and not to anyone else, believing that the connection between Archangel Michael and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the closest.
History of the Archangels
Angels are the heavenly army that protects the light from the invasion of evil and devilish power. Archangels are the highest creatures of God who keep order both on Earth and in Heaven. There are eight main angels in Orthodox Christianity: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selafiel, Jehudiel, Barachiel, Jeremiel. The supreme one is the Archangel Michael - the head of all the angelic creatures of God. It is he who will call all people to Last Judgment. The remaining Archangels will sit next to the Son of God.
Of all the archangels, only Michael and Gabriel appeared to people in the guise of a person. Michael performed miracles, and Gabriel was a messenger who conveyed God's messages to people. Jeremiel is also sometimes sent down by God - in order to return a person to the true path. Uriel enlightens the minds of people, giving them important revelations. Jehudiel rewards people for glorifying God and for good deeds. Selafiel's task is to awaken in people the desire to pray. Barachiel sends God's blessing to people who plan good deeds. Raphael is an archangel who heals human ailments.
As you can see, each of them has its own task, which is performed only in relation to the worthy. This proves the importance of praying to all the archangels, since their work keeps our world in balance. Special responsibilities are assigned to angels by God himself, and this is done to maintain balance in the world. In Orthodoxy, the archangels are given a special holiday on November 21 - the Council of the Archangel Michael. On this day, it is customary to read prayers for the salvation of the soul and visit an Orthodox church.

Great Michael the Archangel, do not deprive us of your attention, sinful slaves who pray to you and other archangels for your help and intercession now and in the future. Help us together with you to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Only Michael is mentioned here, since according to all the rules it is necessary to conduct a dialogue with him in the face of all the archangels, for he is God’s main assistant, monitoring everything that happens around us.
It is necessary to pray to the archangels and Archangel Michael not only on holidays, but also at least once a day.
