Saint Michael Smiting Demon is an often-depicted scenario in Christian iconography where Archangel Michael, a figure known for being the leader of heaven's forces in their triumph over the powers of hell, is shown defeating or smiting a demon, sometimes represented as Satan or the dragon. This is a reference to the biblical book of Revelation (12:7-9), where Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. As the story goes, the dragon did not prevail and along with his angels, was thrown down to earth. Artistically, these depictions often show Michael in knight's armor, symbolizing righteousness and protection, with a sword or spear, representing power and authority. The helpless demon, on the other hand, symbolizes evil, deceit and sinfulness. This representation serves not only as a reminder of the cosmic battle between good and evil but also as a representation of the victory of good faith and justice over sin and temptation.
