Calendar for November 21 Assembly of the Holy Archangel Michael and other incorporeal forces - Arandjelovdan
People have celebrated angels since ancient times, but it has been known to turn into angel worship. By its 35th rule, the local council of Laodicea rejected the worship of angels and established their proper respect. Today's holiday was established in the 4th century. It is in November because it is the 9th month from March, when the world was created. And that again because of the 9 angelic ranks. According to the book "On the Heavenly Hierarchy" of St. Dionysius the Aeropagite, those ranks are: six-winged Seraphim, many-eyed Cherubim, God-bearing Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Beginnings, Archangels and Angels. The arch-strategist Mihailo is the duke of the entire angelic army. Among the angels there is perfect one-mindedness, unanimity and love. Every person has their own guardian angel.
