One man was so grateful that his daughter had been healed that he built a church there. But the pagans grew jealous and attempted to flood the church by redirecting the river. They were stopped by Michael however, who appeared in a column of fire and struck the bedrock of the raging flood, diverting it away.

One day, a Portuguese Carmelite nun by the name of Antonia d’ Astonaco saw the angel in a vision where he told her of nine invocations to be prayed to him and God.
These nine prayers would become a part of the Chapel of Saint Michael. During the years of 1961 to 1965, four girls in the small village of Garabandal, Spain reported visions of Michael but these have yet to be officially confirmed or condemned by the Catholic Church.
