History

In biblical times, there are many references to guardian angels. In the Old Testament, it was written that they descend to earth and interfere in the development of the event. Also, angels are believed to be intermediaries between man and God, and not only Christians, but Muslims also believe that two angels stand next to them, one in front and the other behind.

In the 16th century, interest in miraculous creatures increased, and the Pope officially proclaimed October 2 as an official holiday, comparable to Easter and Christmas in terms of brightness and kindness. People never tire of thanking the Almighty for appointing a guardian to save them from evil.
