November 8th - Feast of The Archangels


Archangel Michael                   

Archangel Gabriel

The angels Gabriel and Michael are called the Archangels.  They are in charge of all the other angels in heaven.  God sent the Archangel Gabriel to tell the Theotokos that she was going to be the mother of  Jesus.  God send angels to help us, too.  The icons of these two special angels are always found at the front of any Orthodox Church.
