| - | A '''guardian angel''' is an [[angel]] who protects and guides a particular person. The concept of [[tutelary]] [[angel]]s and their hierarchy was extensively developed in [[Christianity]] in the [[5th century]] by [[Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite]]. The theology of angels, and tutelary spirits, has undergone many refinements since the 400's, and contemporary orthodox belief in both the eastern and western churches is that guardian angels protect the body and present [[prayer]]s to God, protecting whichever person God assigns them to. The [[Roman Catholic Church]] [[calendar of saints]] includes a memorial for guardian angels on [[October 2]]. | + | |
