from statues.vanderkrogt.net:
This is a stone statue of Archangel St. Michael, depicting his victory over the devil (in the form of a dragon). In the church is an identical statue. Obviously, the statue outside is a replica, probably from 1952. The original statue in the church has been made by Michel Deutsch.
from wikipedia:
Michael (Hebrew pronunciation: [mixa'?el]; Mîkha'el, lit. 'Who is like El?'; Greek: ???a??, romanized: Mikha?l; Latin: Michahel; romanized: Mika'il, Mikal or Mikha'il is an archangel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran systems of faith, he is called Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Michael. In the Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox religions, he is called Saint Michael the Taxiarch. In other Protestant churches, he is referred to as Archangel Michael.
In the New Testament, Michael leads God's armies against Satan's forces in the Book of Revelation, where during the war in heaven he defeats Satan. In the Epistle of Jude, Michael is specifically referred to as "the archangel Michael". Sanctuaries to Michael were built by Christians in the 4th century, when he was first seen as a healing angel. Over time his role became one of a protector and the leader of the army of God against the forces of evil.
