The other two main angels found in the literature are Raphael (Yellow, or South, Air) and Uriel (Green, or West, Earth).

Joan of Arc - Treaty of Troyes signed by Charles VI and England's Henry V in 1420 in an attempt to end the Hundred Years' War and a repetition of the tremendous loss of life that had occurred at the Battle of Agincourt.

Originally founded by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu on July 24, 1927 as the Legion of the Archangel Michael (Legiunea Arhanghelul Mihail), and led by him until his death in 1938, adherents to the movement continued to be widely referred to as "legionnaires" and the organization as the "Legion" or the "Legionnaire Movement" (Mişcarea Legionara), despite various changes of the (intermittently banned) organization's name.

Doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses - appear contradictory or inconclusive. Unlike most other Christian churches, the Witnesses reject the doctrine of the Trinity, holding it to be of pagan origin and out of accord with the Scriptures. They believe that Jehovah God (the Father) and Jesus (the Son) are distinct spirit persons, and that the holy spirit is impersonal, God's active force. [1] A number of Witnesses have taken part in internet debates on the subject; some of them are logged on the 'Jehovah's Witnesses United' website. [1] The group categorically rejects the use of images or icons in worship. They do not use the cross as a religious symbol and their New World Translation renders the Greek word stauros as 'torture stake' rather than 'cross'. Christology The Witnesses believe that Jesus Christ (known as the Word.

He helped to make and organize this world. He is MICHAEL the Archangel, the ANCIENT OF DAYS! about whom holy men have written and spoken—He is our FATHER and our GOD, and the only God with whom WE have to do....

Saint - rather than "saint", or use the two terms interchangeably, and so will refer to St. Peter as "Holy Peter" or "the Holy Apostle Peter" for example. In most other languages, the word for "saint" would be more literally translated "holy", such as `αγιος in Greek, santo in Spanish, saint or sacre in French, etc. A related word in English is "sanctify", which means "to make holy". So in the broad sense of the word, "saint" can mean all those who have been sanctified, or all believers. The narrower and more common sense of the word today is those whom the Church has widely recognized as having been sanctified, as demonstrated in a number of different ways. This practice explains why, in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, the names of angels are usually.
