The Sword of St. Michael

by Rev. Scott A. Haynes

Overview

In the heart of Christian tradition lies a figure whose role is both celestial and terrestrial, a warrior and protector, a guide and intercessor: St. Michael the Archangel. Revered across the Christian world, St. Michael's presence is woven into the fabric of the Church's history, theology, and spirituality.

Among the most mysterious and captivating aspects of his veneration is the phenomenon known as the "Sword of St. Michael"-a series of seven monasteries and churches that stretch across Europe in a perfect alignment, forming what many believe to be a spiritual and geographical sword.

This book explores the depths of this mysterious alignment, delving into the history, miracles, and spiritual significance of each of these sacred sites. The alignment of these seven sanctuaries, extending from Ireland to Israel, has captured the imagination of pilgrims, historians, and spiritual seekers for centuries.

The journey along this line is not merely a geographical one; it is a spiritual pilgrimage, a journey through the history of the Church, a path marked by the faith and devotion of countless Saints, Popes, and ordinary believers.
