That scene became the classic image of the archangel: winged, armed, standing over evil defeated. Catholics turn to him as defender of the faithful and patron of those who protect others, and many pray the prayer to Saint Michael asking him to defend us in battle. Here he stands over the red dragon with a cross above his head. The shield pendant is antiqued silver-tone alloy with gold-tone wings and deep red enamel, on a 50 cm twist chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen the fight is hard, ask Saint Michael for courage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome workdays feel like a battle.

The red enamel and gold-tone wings stand out against a dark T-shirt or sweater, while under a shirt it becomes a private reminder. At 11.5 g it is light enough for daily wear. The pendant is alloy with enamel, so take it off before a shower, a swim or the gym, and keep it away from perfume. It suits a son, a brother or a friend in a demanding job, a confirmation under Saint Michael's name, Father's Day or Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe prayer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

It weighs 11.5 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the red dragon represent?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the dragon of the Book of Revelation, chapter 12, which Saint Michael defeats: a traditional image of evil overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill water damage the red enamel of The Saint Michael Crest?\u003c\/strong\u003e It can, over time. The shield is alloy with red enamel and an antiqued finish, so keep it dry and away from perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a good confirmation gift for a boy who chose Saint Michael?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Its colors and shield shape appeal to teenagers, and it marks the saint he chose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a non-Catholic wear a Saint Michael pendant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Saint Michael is named in the Bible, and Orthodox and Anglican Christians honor him too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a priest bless The Saint Michael Crest even though it is a shield, not a round medal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A priest or deacon can bless an image of a saint whatever its shape, often after Mass. It arrives unblessed, and the blessing is a custom rather than a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--\/bc-ai-more--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bennett \u0026 Cross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55228437430613,"sku":"CJLX1526670-Design1","price":739.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5964\/2197\/files\/the-saint-michael-crest-front-antique-silver-2026.jpg?v=1791921131","url":"https:\/\/bennettandcross.com\/da-dk\/products\/the-saint-michael-crest-337472","provider":"Bennett \u0026 Cross","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
