DAS TUCH SOLL ERZENGEL MICHAEL SYMBOLISIEREN –
DEN KRIEGER DES LICHTS, DER MIT SEINEM LICHTSCHWERT ÜBER DIE DUNKELHEIT SIEGT

Sein Name Michael bedeutet im Hebräischen „Wer ist wie Gott?“.
Er ist der Erzengel, den wir in unserem Kampf gegen Negativität anrufen. Er hilft uns, das Licht in uns selbst zu finden.
Historisch gesehen ist er der Beschützer Israels und der Katholischen Kirche.
Er ist der Schutzheilige der Polizisten, Soldaten und kleinen Kinder und wacht auch über Pilger und Fremde.
Er ist der hitzige Krieger, Fürst der Himmlischen Heerscharen, der für Recht und Gerechtigkeit kämpft und all jene führt, die in großer Not sind.
Michael ist auch der Überbringer von Geduld und Glück.

Das Tuch hat zwei verschiedene Seiten, die das Schwert und das Schild symbolisieren sollen.


THIS SHAWL IS SYMBOLIZING ARCHANGEL MICHAEL – THE WARRIOR OF LIGHT
WHO DEFEATS THE POWERS OF DARKNESS WITH HIS LIGHT SWORD

His name, Michael, means “Who is like God?” in Hebrew.
This is the Archangel whom we call upon for aid in the fight against negative tendencies. He helps us finding the inner light in ourselves. Historically, he is viewed as the protector of Israel and later the Catholic church.
He is the Guardian angel of policemen, soldiers and small children and also watches over pilgrims and strangers. He is the fiery warrior, the leader of the Heavenly forces who is fighting for law and righteousness and leading those in great distress. Archangel Michael is also the bearer of patience and happiness.
The shawl is worked from the nape edging downwards – knitted from the top down – and has two different sides that symbolize the sword and shield.
