🕊️ Archangel Michael as Spiritual Captain
- In the C&S tradition, Archangel Michael was divinely appointed as the spiritual captain of the church by St. Moses Orimolade, the founder of the movement.
- This appointment came after a period of intense prayer and fasting, where Orimolade declared that no human would lead the church—Holy Michael would be its heavenly protector.
⚔️ The Sword’s Symbolism
- The “sword” is not a physical weapon but a spiritual emblem of strength, justice, and divine authority.
- It represents Michael’s role in defending the church against spiritual adversaries and guiding believers through life’s wilderness, much like he led the Israelites in biblical times.
📅 Holy Michael Day
- Celebrated annually on September 29th, marking the day Michael was spiritually assigned to the C&S Church.
- It’s a day of reflection, worship, and gratitude for divine leadership and protection.
This tradition is unique to the C&S Church and is not simply borrowed from other denominations—it’s rooted in a powerful spiritual revelation and identity. Would you like to explore how this connects to the legendary Sword of St. Michael across Europe? It’s a fascinating alignment of sacred sites.
