The AAC celebrates the Feast of the Martyrs. The Archangels Gabriel and Michael and all the heavenly hosts The holiday was established in the 4th century to honor angels - disembodied, incorporeal and immortal spiritual beings endowed with reason, will and power. These luminous beings, like light, were created on the first day of creation. According to Dionysius the Areopagite, there are three angelic hierarchies, each of which is divided into three ranks. The highest heavenly hierarchy includes seraphim, cherubim and thrones; The middle includes control, power and authority; The lower consists of principles, angels (archangels) and angels. The ranks of the heavenly powers are collectively called angels, which translated from Greek means "messenger". The higher ranks announce the Creator's will to the lower ranks, and they convey it to the people. Gabriel is one of the seven angels, lifts people's prayers to God, brings them good news and also reveals the meaning of prophetic visions and mystical events. Gabriel was sent to the city of Nazareth in the Galilee - to the future mother of God Miriam: "Rejoice, full of God's grace with you, blessed are you among women, you have found favor with God and will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son and you will call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High and his kingdom will have no end... ". Archangel Michael stands at the head of the ranks of the angels. He is the angel of the heavenly powers, protector of the truth and the righteous. Michael cast out the proud Satan and the rest of the fallen angels from heaven. The Revelation of John describes a heavenly battle in which Michael and his angels fight Satan: "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought them, but they did not stand, and they no longer had a place in heaven." With all his power and authority given to him, Michael administers justice only in the name of God. Subscribe to Alpha News VK Zen Website TikTok Facebook Instagram YouTube X.
