Archangel Michael & Archangel Gabriel icon, Taksiarxes Byzantine art wall hanging Greek Catholic Orthodox icon wood plaque religious gift

A unique high - quality lithography icon with Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel with double varnish to ensure waterproof properties and long lasting in time. An exquisite Byzantine artwork with handcrafted details. It is hand finished on wood with metal details on the edges.

The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Mount Athos, where he was taught both the technique of hagiography and the process of handmade ageing, which bears the image with the representation of the Archangels.

Michael’s name means “who is like God.” God gave Michael the responsibility of protecting us as God protects us.

Gabriel’s name means “hero of God.” Gabriel is God’s hero because he communicates God’s message to people. We remember Gabriel best for being the angel who announced to Mary that she would be the mother of God’s only Son.

On the feast day of the archangels, we remember that God’s messengers guide us in our journey to everlasting life with our Father. We can pray to Michael when we face temptation. We can ask to Gabriel to help us say “yes” to God as Mary did so many years ago. We can pray to Raphael when we are ill or know someone who is in need of healing.

We honor the archangels as Saints. They remind us that God is always with us and that God loves so much about us that he gives us special helpers to light and guide us to him.

Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface.
