The Synaxis of The Archangel Michael and The Other Bodiless Powers

The Synaxis of The Archangel Michael and The Other Bodiless Powers: Archangels Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Salaphiel, Jegudiel, Barachiel, and Jeremiel is celebrated today by the Orthodox Christians all over the world.

God created these orders nine months after He created the world.(I did not know that). Angels are not to be worshipped. The following is the hierarchy of the nine orders: six-winged seraphim, many-eyed cherubim, godly thrones, dominions, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels and angels. Archangel Michael is the leader of the angelic army. His name means, "Who is like God."
When Lucifer and his followers, were cast from heaven, Archangel Michael said to the remaining half of the angels in heaven, "Let us give heed! Let us stand right! Let us stand with fear!" Archangel Michael defends the Garden of Eden, told Abraham not to sacrifice Isaac, told Lot to flee Sodom, protected Jacob from Esau, took the soul of Moses from the devil, and changed the course of a river in Asia Minor to protect a holy spring in a church.

The icon depicting Archangel Michael is on the left side of the iconostasis in all Orthodox churches, and Archangel Gabriel is on the right. The name Gabriel means " The Power of God". Archangel Gabriel announces the mysteries of God.
