Michael means “Who is like to God?” (Mi-cha-el, lat. Quis ut Deus). In the battle fought in heaven against Satan and his followers, St. Michael led the army of angels against the rebellion, casting evil spirits down to hell. Rv 12:7-12
Holy Scripture describes St. Michael as “one of the chief princes, and defender of God’s people” Dn 10:12-21; 12:1 and leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over the powers of hell. He has been honored and invoked as patron and protector by the Church since the time of the Apostles.
Although he is always called “the Archangel,” the Greek Fathers and many others place him as Prince of the Seraphim over all the angels. St. Michael is the patron of paratroopers and police.
