Appearance of Archangel Michael
#4
On the icon Archistrategos Michael, the commander of the angelic army, is depicted in full height, in the armor of a warrior. Joshua Navin is depicted at his feet. According to the Old Testament, Joshua Navin was the leader of the Jewish people during the conquest of Canaan, the Promised Land. In the Christian tradition he was considered a model of a righteous warlord. Before the conquest of Canaan, Archangel Michael with a sword appeared to Joshua Navin and ordered him to take off his shoes as he was entering the Holy Land.

On the left side of the icon, there is a scene of the fall of Jericho, the first city that was captured by the Jewish army. According to legend, Archangel Michael announced to Joshua Navin the command of the God, according to which the Jews were to be marching around Jericho for seven days with sounds of ritual trumpets and wearing the Ark of the Covenant - the main shrine of the Jewish people. On the seventh day the city walls fell from the sound of the trumpets and screams of soldiers. Appearance of the Archangel was associated with the divine support in the battle, and therefore the image of Michael was often placed on parade banners. He was also considered the protector of soldiers, his image often decorated combat helmets.
On the right side of the icon, there is the miracle of Archangel Michael in Chonae. According to the legend, in a city of Asia Minor the Archangel saved a church from destruction. The temple in his honor was built by a local resident in gratitude for the miraculous recovery of his daughter, who had been healed by water from the nearest spring. Archippus, the sexton, known for his righteous life served in the church. The pagans wanted to destroy the spring and kill Archippus, and sent a powerful stream of two rivers to the building. According to the legend, Archangel Michael averted the disaster: he cut a deep cleft in the rock with his rod, where the water streamed.

Frame of the icon Appearance of the Archangel Michael. Yaroslavl. Late 17th century. Silver.
The icon from the collection of the Yaroslavl Museum Reserve was created in the traditions of the local icon painting. Shades of green are used for the background and the soil - so they called the bottom of the image, it was depicted only conditionally. In the buildings and in clothes there are bright colors - shades of red and pink. Faces of the characters are subtly painted with brown lines. During restoration, the silver gilded frame with embossed ornament was removed from the icon. Many icons were decorated with frames, made by gold and silver craftsmen, that were valued as separate works of art.
