November 8th
Synaxis of the Holy Archangels Michael & Gabriel & all the Bodiless Powers
Troparion (Tone 1)
Let us praise Cherubim, Seraphim, Thrones, Powers, Authorities and Principalities, Dominions, Archangels and Angels for they are the Bodiless ministers of the Unoriginate Trinity and revealers of incomprehensible mysteries. Glory to Him Who has given you being; glory to Him Who has given you light; glory to Him Who is praised by you in thrice-holy hymns.

Archangels comprise only one of the ranks of angels. We believe there are Seven Archangels. "Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Jophiel" are descriptive titles as their names are too terrible for men to know. We do not know which one this is, as there is no inscription. It is from the Church of the Archangels in Kala, Iprari, Georgia. It dates to 1096.
