"Quis ut Deus" a Latin sentence meaning "Who [is] like God[?]", is a literal translation of the name Michael. The sentence Quis ut Deus? is particularly associated with Archangel Michael. In art, St. Michael is often represented as an angelic warrior, fully armed with helmet, sword, and shield, as he overcomes Satan, sometimes represented as a dragon and sometimes as a man-like figure. The shield at times bears the inscription: Quis ut Deus, the translation of the archangel's name, but capable also of being seen as his rhetorical and scornful question to Satan.
Letters on the rays P F F P = Pietas, Fidelitas, Fortitudo, Perseverantia = Frömmigkeit, Treue, Tapferkeit, Beharrlichkeit = Piety, Fidelity, Fortitude, Perseverance.
