Anotations

Scope note:

Angels conceived as watching over or protecting a particular person, group, or place, common in many belief systems, including the Abrahamic religions. Belief in guardian angels can be traced throughout antiquity, for example in the culture of the Babylonians, Syrians, and Greeks. The concept of tutelary angels and their hierarchy was extensively developed in Christianity in the 5th century by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.
