Angels are messengers of God I Believe in Angels Angels & Demons

We can look to architecture of old to see some of the greatest works of art ever created of angels. Saint Peters Basilica is probably most famously known for its beautiful art of Michelangelo, and in many of his works he depicted angels. A small marble relief of Jesus Christ flanked by two angels and being held up by Mary was one of the last pieces that Italian Renaissance master is known to have created.

One only has to look at the great cities and the Cathedrals to find angels depicted everywhere. One of the most famous and recognizable angels is the Archangel St. Michael who cast down Lucifer from heaven to the depths of hell along with the rest of the angels who were fallen from grace with God. He is depicted in Armor with his sword upon the devil. Showing his force and strength over him. Michael is one of the most common male names that there is. Proving his importance with regard to the safety we believe him to give our children.

Angels have a special place in many of our hearts, as we refer to our loved ones as angel; significant others, spouses, family, children, and friends. They give us joy and a sense of security in our times of need. We ask for their protection against evil for they are the warriors of God against evil. We even adorn ourselves in jewelry of the angels for they represent goodness and safety.

Especially during the holiday seasons of Christmas and Easter we are reminded of their importance. As many attend churches and masses we are reminded of the appearance of angels to the Mother Mary and to Joseph. We top our Christmas trees with angels. Trees are covered in ornaments of angels and our homes are adorned in them. During the holidays and through the the year for many. We adore them.
