About Guardian Angels
A guardian angel is an angel charged with protecting and guiding a person or group. The belief in guardian angels can be traced throughout all antiquity. The concept of guardian angels and their hierarchy was extensively developed in Christianity in the 5th century by Pseudo-Dionysus the Areopagite. The theology of angels and tutelary spirits has undergone many improvements since 400. Belief in the East and the West is that guardian angels serve to protect any person God assigns them to, and present prayer to God on behalf of this person.
