The Archangel Wooden Swords (Michael, Gabriel, & Raphael) are perfect for defeating the devil!

Why a devil piñata? On Michaelmas, we celebrate the three archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Historically, this day remembered just St. Michael, and, specifically, his victory over Satan in the war of heaven (recorded in Rev 12:7-9). For many years our family has enjoyed reenacting St. Michael’s victory by vanquishing a devil piñata with wooden swords. When we defeat the devil, we hope for the sweet eternal reward of heaven. When we defeat the devil piñata, we get candy!
