Archangel Saint Michael And The Dragon Statue from Mont Saint-Michel

Archangel Saint Michael And The Dragon Statue This statue of Saint Michael atop Mont Saint-Michel, an island commune in Normandy, France, is a powerful symbol of protection and faith. Perched on the spire of the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel. According to legend, in 708, the Archangel Michael appeared to St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches, instructing him to build a church on the rocky island.  This divine command led to the creation of one of the most remarkable examples of medieval Christian architecture and a pilgrimage site. Saint Michael is venerated as a protector against evil, and his statue overlooking the sea symbolizes his role as a guardian of the faithful, continuing to draw visitors and pilgrims from around the world.
