Seven Monasteries Devoted To Archangel Saint Michael Part VI - Monastery Taxiarchis Michael of Panormitis - Greece

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, we continue today with our conversation on the seven monasteries devoted to the Archangel Saint Michael. What insight can you share with us about the sixth stop, "Monastery of the Taxiarchis Michael of Panormitis" on the Greek island of Symi (near Rhodes)?

"This monastery is famous for a mysterious large 'wall-sized' icon (over 6') of the Archangel Saint Michael which miraculously appeared and when removed, suddenly reappeared again. The remote monastery is located within a small seafront Greek village, 'Panormitis,' with the church (earliest remains) dating to 450 AD (erected over a former temple to Apollo). The ancient monastic Greek Orthodox 'living ancient art' is truly spectacular (see below)."

"The monastery has a magnificent curated collection of Greek Orthodox icons and religious art. A spiritual wealth of insight to its church history and local culture with Archangel Saint Michael as their patron saint of protection."

Angelology and The Book of Tobit - Angels and Heavenly Spirit Guides - Armor of Light A Trilogy Story By Peter Arnold eBook Now Available

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, you mentioned your interest in angelology. Is there a particular angel or archangel with which you have an affinity?

"Well, mysteriously archangel Raphael resonates deeply with me. I love The Book of 'Tobit' in the Catholic Old Testament canon, especially when Tobit meets a disguised angel, Raphael who called himself, 'Azariah, son of Hananiah the elder, one of your own kinsmen' (Tobit 5:13). Towards the end of the Old Testament book of Tobit, 'Azariah' (whose name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'helped by God' and is a name bestowed to many figures in the Bible, from guardian angels to high priests) reveals his true identity, 'I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who enter and serve before the Glory of the Lord' (Tobit 12:15). I love The Book of Tobit and highly recommend reading it. I also look forward to celebrating 'Michaelmas' on September 29th this year (2024), the feast day of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the three Archangels."

Question: Do you believe in guardian angels and spirit guides?

"Oh yes. I'm so grateful for the many 'prompts' by my guardian angel and Holy Spirit during my lifetime. We can open up the 'reservoir of receptivity' with prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We must be vessels of love, forgiveness and selflessness. It is so important to 'be still and silent' by making time for meditation, prayer and reflection on a daily basis. Early mornings are most conducive for me before sunrise and taking silent nature walks."

Question: Peter, in your eBook, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story," many angels eventually converge over the story arc. Why did you decide to write it as a "trilogy within a trilogy"?

"The first eBook (released on 7/2/2024) in the series contains three story segments: 'Spirit Warrior,' 'Chaos Enfolds' and 'Redemption.' The series (if it be God's will) to continue in the future with a second trilogy eBook and finally a separate third trilogy story wrapping up the overall epic journey of transformation. Thus, the 'trilogy within a trilogy' narrative structure. Yes, there is a trinitarian metaphor of enlightenment."
