One of them was called Michael, he was the fourth of seven archangels. Another was called Lucifer &#8211; the light bearer. Lucifer was chosen to guard the light before the throne of God. However, a group of angels around Lucifer rose up against God. They no longer wanted to serve him and proclaimed: &#8220;We ourselves are like God.&#8221; The archangel Michael became angry. He gathered the good angels around him and called out to Lucifer and his followers: &#8220;Who is like God?&#8221; A fierce battle ensued. Lucifer transformed himself into a dragon with seven heads and ten horns, sweeping away a third of the stars with his tail. The battle ended with Michael pushing his opponents to a precipice with his flaming sword and plunging down to earth. Since then, Lucifer &#8211; according to legend &#8211; has always wanted revenge. He does everything in his power to seduce people and thus separate them from God. The archangel Michael, however, is on the side of God-fearing people. As the &#8220;Prince of Light&#8221;, he is regarded as the protector of all Christians and the soul companion of the deceased. In reference to the battle with Lucifer, he is often depicted with a sword and lance &#8211; but also with a pair of scales. It is said that he uses them to weigh the souls of the deceased: their good and bad deeds. And it is said that both the devil and the Lord God still like to spend time in Valais.               <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathier-shop.com\/en\/pinot-noir-lucifer\" rel=\"noopener\">Let yourself be seduced by the Pinot Noir Lucifer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The archangel Michael fought against Lucifer and his rebels who rose up against God&#8217;s will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12348,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[176],"class_list":["post-2758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wine-magazine","tag-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2758"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19102,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2758\/revisions\/19102"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
