In Revelation 12 he leads the angels of God against the dragon and overcomes him, and Christian art has shown him ever since with sword and shield, the dragon beneath his feet. Catholics invoke him in every kind of struggle, often with the prayer that asks him to defend us in battle. On this pendant he stands armored inside a shield-shaped frame, a small gold-tone cross at the top. It is silver-tone alloy with gold-tone accents and a deep red background, worn on a 50 cm chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor every struggle you cannot walk away from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour husband leaves each morning for risky work.

It is a bold piece that shows well over a black or gray T-shirt or a henley, but it also sits flat under a shirt for work. The alloy with gold-tone and red accents should stay dry, so take it off before a shower, a swim or a workout, and keep it away from perfume. It suits a father on Father's Day, a husband or son, a godson at confirmation, or someone in demanding or risky work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe prayer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

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.
