Arandjelovdan is the day that the church dedicated to the glory of all angels and the first among them, the holy Archangel Michael.
The angels (the angel is the Greek word meaning the herald) are spiritual beings without body that carry out God's promises. There's many of them and, according to the hierarchy, are divided into nine ranks. Angels on icons always depicted in human form as young people. They have no physical desires and concerns as people do so they remain forever young and beautiful, and since they fly where God sends them, they are always painted with wings on icons. Every man on the day of baptism receives his angel, who is called a calm angel, faithful teacher, a guardian of soul and body. These angels protect man's life and health and make sure that man does not make any mistake because of his ignorance and recklessness. They are dressed in white clothes, capes, as a sign of purity and innocence. The highest among the angels are seven archangels, including Michael.
On the icons, the archangel Mihailo is presented with wings, in the ducal garment, as a fighter, with a sword in one and a beam scale in the other hand, because, according to folk belief, he takes the human soul at the time of death.
