    Tips

    January 6, 2024

    This grotto was dedicated to "San Michele Arcangelo". His portrait can be found as a fresco on the rock wall. The name of the archangel Michael (coming from the Hebrew language) means “Who is like God?” He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.
