Archangel Michael, the mighty warrior, leads all nine ranks of angels. According to Church canons, he is the chief warrior in the battle of good and evil, as he defeated Satan himself. Archangel Michael is known primarily as a great military leader, an Archistrategos. So it happened that Lucifer, the most powerful, beautiful and high-ranking angel, became proud and rebelled against God. The situation became critical because many angels of various ranks joined the troublemaker. And there were other angels that were still hesitant. And then Michael urged those who were wavering to remain faithful to God. The valiant Archangel led an army of angels who did not turn away from God and defeated Lucifer, casting him along with his minions down into hell.

The elegant box wrapping reflects Michael's energetic color of blue, which symbolizes strength and courage
