Saint Michael's Line 🧵
The Saint Michael Line is a line of monasteries built from the 6th to the 13th century dedicated to the Archangel Michael starting in Ireland and finishing in Israel.
The Sacred Line perfectly aligns with the sunset on the day of the Northern Hemisphere’s Summer Solstice.
It is referred to as the "Sword of St. Michael," said to represent the blow with which St. Michael sent the devil to hell.
