St. Michael is depicted as a sword-carrying, winged warrior because he is an angel who has been engaged in many battles, some of which are described in the Book of Daniel and in Revelation. The image of his face on the right lacks any emotion – just what we might expect from one who carries a balance for weighing the souls of the dead. The bottom of the window, shown on the left, bears the monogram SM, for Saint Michael.

Would it be disrespectful to suggest that St. Michael appears to be wearing a rather fetching pair of bloomers? It looks that way but, in fact, he is wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length shirt under the breast plate and over the thigh armour.
