8 They do observe an annual observance of the Lord's Supper, the [[Last Supper]], or Lord's Evening Meal (1 Corinthians 11:20 NWT).  This event, which they refer to as the Memorial of Christ's Death, falls on the night of Nisan 14 which corresponds with the ancient [[Passover]] celebration observed by Jews, which is in March/April of our calendar.

9 According to the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, the "Angel of the LORD" of Exodus was the pre-existent Christ, and is also identified as the Archangel Michael of Daniel, who leads and protects God's covenant people, and that God made the [[Michael (archangel)|Archangel Michael]], one of the "Sons of God", his incarnate Son, making him Jesus Christ. Then when his ministry was completed, he returned to heaven and resumed his position as Michael the Archangel, a Son of God (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7). Some Trinitarians such as Charles Spurgeon also taught that Jesus is Michael but that Michael is God co-equal to the Father.  The Witnesses reject a co-equal Trinity, and teach the supremacy of the Father over the Son (or Michael) in all things.  This doctrine of Michael is usually carefully withheld by door-to-door missionary-minister Witnesses until the prospective convert is considered to be receptive, and ready to receive it.<ref>See
