Description
St. Michael the Archangel, photographed at New Cathedral Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland. Unfortunately the blade of his sword is long gone. Prayer...Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all other evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

I have pictures taken of practically the same statue. The one difference is he has a sword in the dragons mouth. I like your photographs.

It's really difficult to find a St. Matthew statue with the sword intact. I've seen about a dozen like this - with the sword missing - and photographed one or two with the sword intact.
Thanks for the kind comment - I'll definitely check your gallery out!

Another beautiful shot. I've never seen a statue of that before - it's awesome.

Yes, I think this one is a bit unusual. You would only see it in a Catholic cemetery, and we have a couple near here.
