On the front the archangel stands in armor with his wings spread and his sword raised, his feet planted on the fallen form twisting beneath him. The reverse holds a standing figure within a broad burst of rays, a slender staff in hand. The relief is high and the border deep, giving the piece a hand-struck look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael is the archangel of the Book of Revelation, where war breaks out in heaven and the dragon is thrown down. He is the protector of the Church herself, and the patron of soldiers, police officers, paramedics and everyone whose work runs toward danger rather than away from it. The old prayer asks him to defend us in battle and be our safeguard against the snares of the devil, and it is still said at the end of Mass in many places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. Michael medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943594733753,"sku":"3c3-1257-B","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1257-B.png?v=1787688765","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-michael-the-archangel-medal-1257","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
