Angels are the embodiment of Christmas and an essential part of Christmas celebrations.
Angels in Greek mean 'messengers' and Christmas angels are perhaps the most popular type of angel used in celebrations throughout the world. Angels were very important in the birth of Jesus Christ so they play an important role in Christmas celebrations and festivities. They told us the news of the birth of Jesus and according to legend it was Gabriel, who is also known as the Christmas angel, that told Mary she was chosen to bear God's son. Another angel told Joseph that he should marry mary and a small group of angels was appointed to watch over them on their journey to Bethlehem.
So angels at Christmas are a vital part of the festive scene and our range of angel statues from Jim Shore and other artists are a beautiful addition to any celebration and make ideal Christian gifts.
