St. Michael the Archangeldefend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against
the wickedness and snares
of the devil.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O prince
of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into Hell, Satan,
and all the evil spirits
that prowl about the world,
seeking the ruin of souls.
~Amen!
In this icon, St. Michael is slaying a dragon, which is reminiscent of the Book of Revelation. There, the dragon waits for the woman to give birth to the Child so he can eat Him.
