Archangel Michael

With my upgraded spirituality after the 11 - 11 - 11, I've noticed - with the help of my photo camera - I started to get fantastic photos which prove (for all of those unbelievers) the existence of something way higher than ourselves!

For two occasions I was able to get a blue orb on two different photos (with a week space between them)

Can you see it in the middle of the door?

So for me, at this present physical and spiritual experience, I consider the blue orb to be the presence or a sign of Archangel Michael - the archangel of path, strength and protection against evil or bad energies.

Out of this two ... "apearences" made me to go back to a doll I started last year of Archangel Michael but had left it to finish "one day"

The day was now!

The inspiration to do this doll came from a painting by a huge baroque painting master - Luca Giordando - and its final result out of the figurines designed for the baroque French composer Jean Baptiste Lully's ballets and Operas.

So yes, in the end we don't understand if its a representation of Archangel Michael or a stage figure.... It looks rather belligerent and angry ...

No wings though, true ... Angels have no wings anyway (neither they have bodies also, but still ... )

My wish for 2012 is that evil might be vanquished for ever!!

The King is dead! THE KING IS DEAD!!!

God was pleased to call to his Holy Glory today, era of Our Lord Jesus Christ of one thousand one hundred eighty-five, the venerable D. Afonso the First of its name and first King of Portugal .

D.Afonso Henriques died with such an unimaginable age for the epoch after a lifetime of battle against whoever to establish a new kingdom for Christianity.  In his marriage with the Italian princess D. Mafalda de Sabóia wasn't happy despite the vast offspring... And after the great disaster of Badajoz where he ends up wounded and arrested it was the end of his warrior... From then on and assisted by Prince D. Sancho , D. Afonso dedicates his time onto the administration of the conquered territories and in 1179 achieves, finally,  the papal recognition as King of the independent kingdom of Portugal. He was buried in the Church of Santa Cruz at Coimbra.
May his Soul be held in the hands of Angels, the glory of Paradise as we all one day, Amen.
