Angels are believed to be messengers between God and the humans. The Bible talks about angels as ethereal beings who have human bodies and wings and are categorized in nine ranks. These angels are headed by an archangel and according to the Holy Book each one of us has an assigned guardian angel that protects us from all evil forces. Before the birth of Christ, it were the angels who informed Mary and Joseph that they had been chosen to bear God’s son and after the couple till Jesus was born. Also when Jesus was born, it were the angels who not only witnessed the birth of baby Jesus but also spread the news. Even now in Nativity scenes angels can be seen singing and dancing at the birth of Christ.
