Iconography

The Brigadiers Michael and Gabriel - Icon of the temple of H.T. of Constantine and Helen at Leontari

The Archangels, at whom the Temple is dedicated, at an original composition. The Archangel Michael is depicted always right, because he is the first among equals in the ranks of Angels (Marshal), derived from the Old Testament. The Archangel Gabriel is the closest in the hierarchy and he is referred in the New Testament.
