Feast of the Archangels

The Feast of the Archangels is a Christian celebration honoring three major archangels—Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—who are considered powerful messengers and protectors. It is observed annually on September 29 in the Western Christian tradition and on September 28 in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The day commemorates their roles in spiritual battles, divine messages, and healing missions, symbolizing God's guidance and protection for humanity. It is a time for believers to reflect on the angels’ roles as heavenly allies and to seek their intercession and protection in daily life.
