The Guardian Angel, a central figure in the Christian faith, is not a canonized saint but a spiritual entity. Its veneration is rooted in the Old Testament, where God sends angels to protect and guide man. In the New Testament, Jesus himself speaks of the angels of children. The Catholic Church celebrates the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels on October 2, recognizing their role as protectors and divine messengers. Popular belief ascribes to each individual a personal guardian angel, a faithful companion who watches over his life, inspires him to good and defends him from evil. This devotion has consolidated over the centuries, finding expression in prayers, works of art and devotional objects, such as the sculpted angel, a tangible symbol of this celestial and reassuring presence.
