Description:

The participation of angels in human events confirms their cosmic importance, especially in the Advent and Christmas readings. The Archangel Gabriel asks Mary to be the mother of God; angels announce Jesus' birth to shepherds. Angels warn the magi and St. Joseph of Herod's plans and later that the Holy Family may safely return home to Nazareth. The Archangel Michael, one of the principal patrons of the Society of St. Edmund, is known and invoked as the defender of God’s people against Satan's attacks.
