Archangel Michael Sword & Shield Wall Plaque
A Sacred Symbol of Divine Protection and Spiritual Victory
"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one." — 2 Thessalonians 3:3
This handcrafted solid wood plaque, depicting the triumphant Archangel Michael, serves as a powerful testament to God's unwavering protection and the victory of light over darkness. More than a work of art, it is a declaration of faith and a reminder of the heavenly host that guards us in our daily spiritual battles.
A Vision of Heavenly Protection
The triumphant Archangel Michael, defender of the faithful
Rooted in sacred Scripture and tradition, Saint Michael the Archangel is celebrated as the prince of the heavenly host, the champion of God's people against the forces of evil (Daniel 10:13, 21; 12:1; Revelation 12:7-9). This plaque captures his divine mission:
The Sword of Divine Justice – Raised high, it represents the power of God's truth to cut through deception and the victory of Christ's cross over sin and death. It is the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17).
The Shield of Faith – The plaque's form as a shield echoes the Apostle Paul's exhortation to "take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one" (Ephesians 6:16). It symbolizes God's promise to be our fortress and deliverer (Psalm 91:2).
The Wings of the Divine Presence – Outstretched wings signify shelter, swift aid, and the encompassing presence of God's messengers, as expressed in Psalm 91:4: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge."
The Sacred Inscription: "QUIS UT DEUS" – This Latin phrase, meaning "Who is like God?", is the battle cry of Saint Michael. It is a profound declaration of God's supreme majesty and a rejection of all pride and rebellion, centering the home on this fundamental truth.

The Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
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.

"The Lord Will Fight For You"

May it be a constant, bold declaration of faith—a reminder that we do not fight our battles alone, but with the Lord of Hosts and His angelic army as our mighty defenders. Let it inspire courage, strengthen prayer, and be a source of peace for all who dwell under your roof.
"For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
— Psalm 91:11-12
May the protection of Saint Michael and the peace of Christ be with you and your household.
