Feast
of
the Archangels
November
8th
Synaxis of the Holy Archangels Michael,
Gabriel, Raphael & all the Bodiless Powers
Troparion
(Tone 1)
Let us
praise Cherubim, Seraphim, Thrones, Powers,
Authorities and Principalities, Dominions, Archangels and Angels
for they are the Bodiless ministers of the Unoriginate Trinity
and revealers of incomprehensible mysteries. Glory to Him Who has
given you being; glory to Him Who has given you light; glory to
Him Who is praised by you in thrice-holy hymns.
The Orthodox Church recognizes the eight of these whose descriptive titles we know as the "core" of this group. "Michael, Gabriel and Raphael" are descriptive titles as their names are too terrible for men to know. Here, Ss. Gabriel & Michael give honor to Jesus Christ Emmanuel.
This Icon is originally from Vladimir, late 12th century, now at the Tretiakov Gallery, Moscow.
