On the 12th day of every Coptic month, the Church celebrates the feast of the honored Archangel Michael, the head of all the heavenly hosts, who stands at all times before the great throne of God, interceding on behalf of the human race.

Joshua, the son of Nun, saw him in great glory and was frightened by him and fell on his face to the ground and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?”. Archangel Michael answered, “As Commander of the army of the Lord… I have given Jericho into your hand” (Joshua 5:13-15, 6:2)
Archangel Michael was with all the saints and martyrs before they went to heaven. He strengthened them and enabled them to endure patiently until they finished their strife and went to heaven.

An example of one of his wonders: A God-fearing man called Dorotheus, and his wife Theopista, used to hold a festival of commemoration for Archangel Michael on the twelfth day of each month. Then this family became poor and had no money for the monthly celebration.
They tried to sell their clothes so that they might have a feast for Archangel Michael.

Archangel Michael appeared to Dorotheus and commanded him not to sell his clothes, but to go to a sheep-master and to take from him a sheep worth one-third of a dinar. He told him also to go to a fisherman and to take from him a fish worth one-third of a dinar, but Dorotheus was not to slit open the fish until he came back to him. Finally, he was to go to a
flour merchant and to take from him as much flour as he needed.
Dorotheus did as Archangel Michael commanded him. He invited the people to the feast honoring Archangel Michael. When he went into his storeroom looking for juice for the offering, he found that all the containers had been filled with juice and many other good things. He marveled and was astonished.

After they had finished the celebration and all the people had departed, Archangel Michael appeared to Dorotheus as before and commanded him to cut open the belly of the fish. He found 300 dinars of gold and three coins, each a third of a dinar. He told him these three coins were for the sheep, the fish and the flour, and the 300 dinars were for him and his
children. God had remembered them and their oblations and had rewarded them here in this world and in the kingdom of heaven. As Dorotheus and his wife were astonished at this matter, the Archangel Michael said to them, “I am Michael the Archangel who delivered you from all your tribulations and I have taken your oblations and alms up to God, you shall lack
no good thing whatsoever in this world.” He then disappeared and went up into heaven.

May his intercessions be with us all Amen.
