“Who is like God?” St Michael the Archangel, Prince of the Heavenly Host.
The story behind the line. That's what the name Michael means in Hebrew: Mi-kha-el, 'Who is like God?'. Tradition says it was the cry of the faithful angels in the war in heaven. It's a question with only one answer: no one.
Michael, whose name asks 'Who is like God?', is the archangel Christians have long pictured as captain of heaven's armies. Revelation tells of a war in heaven in which he and his angels cast down the dragon. Artists show him armoured and winged, sword raised, the defeated dragon beneath his feet. Western churches keep his feast at Michaelmas on 29 September; Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches gather the angels on 8 November. Cities and mountaintop shrines have long been placed under his watch.

From The Deity Project, a living encyclopedia of the sacred.
Three ways to wear it: the classic tee is soft and lightweight ($29); the garment-dyed tee is heavier, with a softly faded, lived-in colour ($36); the garment-dyed one-ink tee prints the design and its line in a single ink, in soft earthy colours ($34).
