This is a summary from the Catholic Encyclopedia when I plugged in St. Michael the Archangel.

Christian tradition gives to St. Michael:

To fight Satan etc.

To be the Champion of God's people, the Jews in the old law, the Christians in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church and of the orders of knights during the Middle Ages.

It's an interesting dissertation and there is more..

Think about it. I've got one single thought in my mind now as to the significance of Michael.

When I was growing up there was a Cathedral in town named St. Michaels. We always understood that he was the Archangel who defeated Satan in the great war of good against evil. Statues show him wielding a sword and with his heel crushing the head of a serpent, Satan.
