Milagros: Saint Michael the Archangel Sculpture Woodcarved
This striking Hand-carved figure represents Saint Michael the Archangel, the mighty celestial warrior and protector of the faithful. Handcrafted in Michoacán, Mexico, this folk art sculpture reflects the artistry and spirituality of local traditions.
Saint Michael is depicted with a calm and resolute expression, holding a sword in front of him—a symbol of divine justice and protection. His magnificent wings are painted gold and outlined with zigzag lightning motifs, evoking heavenly power. His robe is richly decorated with dozens of milagros, small silver-toned votive charms in the shape of hearts, doves, hands, saints, eyes, and other sacred symbols. These milagros are traditionally used to express gratitude or request blessings, healing, or protection.
From head to toe, this figure radiates purpose and grace, embodying Saint Michael's role as the leader of the heavenly armies and the defender against evil. He is the patron saint of police officers, soldiers, the sick, and those in spiritual battle.
