'Angels' in Greek mean 'Messengers'. In Bible,
heavenly angels are mentioned as messengers of God. Christmas angels are
perhaps the most popular form of angels that are used in our celebrations. Angels are believed to be immortal, who live
in Heaven, and act as intermediaries between God and Humankind. Traditionally,
pictures and poems on angels portray them having human bodies with wings
sprouting from their backs. 'Wings' are said to symbolize Innocence, Virtue,
Purity, Peace and Love, which place them above Humans though they are still
under God. It was the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of Christianity, which
first mentions that angels had a human body and angel wings and could fly.
They were quite instrumental in birth of Jesus Christ and hence, play an important role in Christmas celebration and festivities. Angels were the ones that brought us the news of the birth of the Christ child. Gabriel, the heavenly Christmas angel brought the divine news to Mary and revealed that she was chosen to bear God's son. Another angel informed Joseph that he should marry Mary and look after the Christ.
