About the Icon:

Archangel Michael, whose name means "(the one) who is like God" is the only figure recognized as an Archangel in the Bible (Scripture) and is recognized both by the Catholic and Protestant doctrine. It is believed that he is the one who appears in the Old Testament from the beginning of the creation of the world and the one who expelled Adam and Eve from Heaven, as ordered by God, and he is appointed as the Head of the Angelic Order.

On his shield, the letter in the middle is Χ.  It stands for Χριστος —Khristos — “Christ.”  The second letter, at left, for an Α.  But actually it is the letter Δ, which is often found written in this manner in old icons.  It stands for Δικαιος — Dikaios — meaning “Righteous.”  The third letter, at right, is Κ, for Κριτης — Krites —“Judge.”  It is related to our English words “critic” and criticism.”All together, the letters abbreviate Χ(ριστός) Δ(ίκαιος) Κ(ριτής). — “Christ [the] Righteous Judge.”  It is an expression that recalls the words of John 7:24:
