		<description>Whups, I am in such a hurry to finish making dinner I forgot the link, I&#039;m sorry!

I&#039;m not sure the person answering the question is really a nun, of course, but whomever they are, they are obviously very well versed in Catholic and theological history, judging by their other posts - but who knows these days :/

Regardless, here is that link (the next more recent post is interesting as well)

		<description>Hey Cherie - thank you! Also found this after work explaining more about why the 3 angels mentioned in the bible (including Michael) are considered Saints though never human.  (Essentially, saint literally just means &quot;holy&quot; or &quot;exists in heaven&quot; so in a sense all of our loved ones COULD be called saints.  And in the case of angels, it means they got to skip the canonization process ;)

Also note that the nun refused to allow the person asking the question&#039;s son to name him &quot;Michael&quot; and didn&#039;t explain why.  Funny, people&#039;s little personal beliefs on that one.

As for the similar names, I suppose that&#039;s true - although my daughter&#039;s name means &quot;heir of Cionnaith&quot; or &quot;Kenneth&quot;, I believe.  Another similarity of note, however, is that the Appalachian mountain people of Eastern Kentucky in particular have retained the old-school Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Old English traditions and superstitions perhaps more than anywhere else in America - and both strangers I met during that time were prone to these in their own way (with the latter being oddly correct about my having a daughter (but I guess she did have a 50% change ;)

I&#039;ll be back to comment on your day yesterday a bit later, sounds frustrating but the gardens you saw are gorgeous!!!</description>

		<description>Wiki (on this occasion) is a good place to read about St Michael :-)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Michael_in_the_Catholic_Church

Thank you for your personal story :-) If you think about it the boy and girl names from those strangers are quite similar ;-)</description>

		<description>Surprised there are no comments on this one,  that statue of Michael is extremely interesting.  I&#039;d never heard that story about Michael&#039;s &quot;conversion&quot;, thank you - and here was me thinking Michael was still just a bad A protector angel with a large sword no one should ever mess with.

In fact, true story, while pregnant, I was advised by a well-meaning complete stranger (as strangers so often do, when you&#039;re pregnant) from Eastern Kentucky (and therefore full of superstitions) that if I had a son, not to name him &quot;Michael&quot; after the angry angel because it will P him off and your son will be angry in temperament.   Lucky for me I had a daughter and named her after another complete stranger from Scotland &quot;predicted&quot; I would have a daughter and that I should name her the Scottish surname I&#039;d already picked for a girl of Scottish heritage:)

Otherwise, I&#039;m very curious as to why Michael is a saint, considering he supposedly never existed in human form and supposedly then had no free will - but then I&#039;m a Southern Baptist converted to &quot;high church&quot; Episcopalian, and thus am still learning these things :)</description>
