Angels have been around for centuries and they predate Christianity, first appearing in Ancient Sumeria more than 5,000 years ago....Here they were winged male and female guardian spirits, this idea was then incorporated into the Jewish and early Christian faiths, although they were depicted without wings...Later,they regained their wings in Christianity to show their divine nature....
The word angel comes from the Greek 'angelos', meaning messenger....Angels act as protective messengers of the divine forces who help humanity to grow in spirit....Angels may be found in different forms in many religions.......
