A traditional Russian icon of St Michael-Archangel of the Apocalypse, with two saints on the borders (St. Nicholas on the left and St. Marina). On top of the icon amid the clouds appears Christ Emmanuel before the Hetoimasia. St. Michael appears riding his red pegasus, holding a trumpet which he used to announce the final battle between good and evil and the ultimate victory of God’s kingdom. His left hand holds the book of the Gospel, while his right hand holds a spear that’s lancing down into the flaming underground.
The iconography is based on a passage from the book of Revelation, describing a battle between archangel Michael and the devil.
