In our bedtime prayers, we remind ourselves that we are constantly surrounded by these four archangels: Micha-El whose name means, “Who is like God,” holds our hand and accompanies us with mercy, Gavri-El, ”the power of God,” holds a flaming sword to defend us against what is harmful in our lives, Uri-El, “the light of God,” carries the ancient menorah to illumine a path forward, and Rapha-El,” the healing of God,” holds his hands in the priestly blessing behind us. Up above our heads is the abiding loving presence of the Holy One. All around the border is the flow, the shefa, of Divine love. The wings of the angels form a Star of David. This colorful rendition of the four archangels is inspired by the style of the medieval Book of Kells.

Beautiful for a bedroom, especially appealing for a child.
