Old Michaelmas Day 2021
 |
I am of the Christian faith and believe in the Christian religious traditions. Many have been tainted by the pagan influences of holiday observance but I closely differentiate those 'traditions of men' from those religious traditions of mine.
This has brought my attitudes under fire by Christians who have not bothered to study or investigate ...
With many not ever having read a "true" translation of the Bible preferring the ones altered by scribes of the devil in an attempt to sway the true word from one which is patently false.
If you cannot trace The Word back to the original translations I personally believe your source to be suspect.
We who believe in God have a corresponding belief in angels. The Elohim, in whose image we are made consists of both YHVH, the one true God and his angels.
Angels have a hierarchy of their own with the topmost rank being that of archangel.The title Archangel refers to an angel of high rank. The title archangel itself is usually associated with the Abrahamic religions, but beings are found in a number of similar religious traditions.
Saint Michael is an archangel. He is a spiritual warrior in the battle of good versus evil. His attributes include champion of justice, healer of the sick, and guardian of the Church. Artistic representations of Saint Michael are typically depicted with him wielding a sword, a banner, or scales, and vanquishing Satan.
Old Michaelmas Day falls on October 11. This day may be construed as October 10 by some sources with those the dates being the result of the shift from Julian to Gregorian calendars. Thusly, that gap widens by a day every century except the current one.
It is said that the Devil fell out of Heaven on this date onto a blackberry bush whereby he cursed the fruit as he fell. According to an old legend, blackberries should not be picked after this date. Variations of the legend include the devil spitting or urinating upon them and the legend and it's variants are well known in all of Great Britain.
