The Angels of God Fight for the Followers of Christ

Today we’re celebrating the Festival of St. Michael and All Angels. For 1500 years the Christian Church has celebrated this festival near the autumnal equinox, the day of 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness. As Christians watched the autumn nights grow longer and the days grow shorter, they were reminded of the struggle between good and evil- between the forces of light and the forces of darkness-between the angel armies of God and the demonic forces of Satan. The Bible says that Michael is in charge of the great army of angels that God uses to protect and care for us. This is the day we remember God’s great love in giving us these amazing protectors, the angels.
