The Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church celebrates Archangel Michael (Kudus Mikael) on Hidar 12 (November 21) and Senie 12 (June 19), along with monthly commemorations on the 12th day. Known as the head of heaven’s hosts (Angles), his name means “Who is like God,” symbolizing his role as the leader of the heavenly army who defeated Satan and intercedes for humanity.
Biblically, St. Michael is depicted as the Commander of the Lord’s Army (Joshua 5:13-15), protector during the Exodus (Exodus 14:19-22), and the one who announced Christ’s resurrection. He is honored for his miracles, including providing for the faithful in times of need, as documented in Dersane Michael.
Archangel Michael represents protection, mercy, and divine justice, with believers seeking his intercession for blessings and guidance.
