Archangels Michael and Gabriel (MA-ICN-0232)

An exact replica of the original icon from the Holy Mount Athos. Made on natural wood with the use of traditional materials. Crafted with 22K gold leaves. Reproduction according to the museum print standards.

Archangel Michael is the chief angel, the head of the holy host of Angels and Archangels. The literal translation of his name, which is "Who is like God?", suggests a questioning intonation. Thus, the name "Michael" means "no one is equal to God".

Archangel Gabriel is the bearer of the divine will. He appears youthful, with a serene and gentle expression.
