September 29 is the feast of Michael the Archangel, Michaelmas, and the feasts of Gabriel and Raphael are now celebrated on the same day. October 2 marks the celebration of the Guardian Angels.Sorry not to have noticed the Feast of the Archangels on Saturday. Saint Michael is somewhat of a celebrity in North-East Fife, Scotland, where I live.

But today is the Feast Day for the Guardian Angels, so that will have to do for both. As usual, Philip Jenkins is on the case. Follow the first link above for a post on the archangels and their origins.
