Michael in Latin "Quis ut Deus?", "Who is like God?", Is an archangel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the deposit of the tradition of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, in the Anglican and Lutheran faith, he is called "St. Michael the Archangel" (the Archangel par excellence), or more briefly "St. Michael". In the tradition of the Eastern Orthodox and Orthodox Churches, he is called "Taxiarch Archangel Michael", or more briefly "Archangel Michael". The attribution of the title of saint directly in the name, which also has its origin in the Old Testament, is not universally accepted by all religious confessions. Instead, the proper name Michael is among those to which the Bible expressly attributes the title of archangel, as well as in the biblical passages that refer to the other two last archangels recognized by the aforementioned confessions: Gabriel and Raphael. For the Catholic Church, the liturgical solemnity of the three holy archangels occurs on September 29: in order, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Gabriel the Archangel, St. Raphael the Archangel. St. Michael is also celebrated on these dates that recall particular anniversaries, and are not found in the common calendar because on these dates he does not appear as the Saint of the day: November 8, May 8, September 6, October 16 and the third Sunday of Easter (the second Sunday after Easter). For example, 8 May 490 A.D., is the date of his apparition to San Lorenzo Maiorano, bishop of Siponto, in the cave on the Gargano, from which devotion began to spread rapidly throughout Europe. Michael is always mentioned with the same Hebrew equivalent word of archangel (also translated as "prince") in: Gd 9; Rev 12, 7; Zc 13, 1-2; defender of the friends of God in: Dn 10, 13.21; protector of his people in: Dn 12, 1. In the last book of the New Testament, the Apocalypse of John, after the first war in paradise (mentioned in Rev 12: 9, symmetrical to Genesis 3: 20-24), the the archangel is the protagonist in the second earthly war of the woman (Mary, mother of Jesus Christ) against the dragon. St. Michael the Archangel again leads the celestial militia of God's angels to victory against Lucifer, who was a seraph and therefore brother of the Archangels, and his angels (one third of the total), rebels and apostates. According to the prophecy, at the end of days, St. Michael the Archangel is destined to sound the trumpet announcing the great final judgment, when, after having recapitulated everything in Christ, the Kingdom of Heaven will be returned by Jesus Christ to God the Father for eternity. . Islam accepts the entirety of the Old and New Testaments as revelation. The name of Mīkāʾīl (ميخائيل), or Mīkīl (ﻣﻴﻜﻴﻞ), is mentioned in the main sacred text, the Koran, as an angel of equal rank with Jibrīl (Gabriel), sent by Allah to instruct the prophet Muhammad, dictating the Koran to him.
