St Michael

A statue of St. Michael in the room at the end of the tour of Mont St-Michel in Brittany. Obviously there is a lot of St. Michael stuff there. I was intrigued by this guy in what looks like late medieval armor.

(See someone else's photo of the statue from the front, below. The dragon just isn't very impressive, is it?)

Happy St. Michael's Day!

Everlasting God, you have ordained and constituted in a wonderful order the ministries of angels and mortals: Mercifully grant that, as your holy angels always serve and worship you in heaven, so by your appointment 

they may help and defend us here on earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, 

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
