Category:Icons of archistrateg Michael

Archistrategos Michael (ru: Archistrateg Michael, Архистратиг Михаил) is the Orthodox iconography of this angel, representing him as holy warrior (in armour). At first he was painted like this in icons "Appearance of Michael to Joshua" (acc. to Book of Joshua, 5:13-15), but later the small kneeling figure of Joshua vanished. Michael usually is dressed like the Roman military leader (short tunic, armour, red cloak, sword/lance, etc.)[1]
