A guardian
angel is a angel who protects and guides a particular person. The concept of
tutelary angels 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 prayers 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.
