Michael the Archangel Has No Navel

Question:

Why is the Archangel Michael depicted with a navel?

Answer:

The Archangel Michael is only a spirit and has no body; whether he is depicted with or without a navel doesn’t really matter. We portray angels with bodies because we humans can’t visualize spirits.
