Angels
Angels have long been symbols of Christmas in the form of ornaments, especially as tree toppers. Christmas cookies are baked in angel shapes. In Lithuania the traditional wafer is termed bread of the angels. They have always been a popular theme on Christmas cards and are indispensable in manger scenes where they hover over the stable. Henry Suso dreamt that angels came to comfort him, took him by the hand and led him in a dance while one sang “In Dolci Jubilo.” When he woke he wrote the music down in the form of a carol which became “Good Christian Men Rejoice”. Angels have been the subject of Christmas music in many lands, particularly in their role as annunciators of the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. From France came Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes, which has been translated into English as “Angels From The Realms of Glory.” From Moravia we have “Angels and Shepherds.” From England, “Angels We Have Heard on High“, “Hark The Herald Angels Sing“, and “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night.” American angel carols include “It Came Upon The Midnight Clear.” Select this link to view our Christmas Tree Angel Toppers.

Christmas pageantry would not be nearly so colorful without the presence of angels. Countless girls and boys have been clothed in white robes for their part in the seasonal dramas staged by churches and schools. Angels accompany street processions reenacting the journey to Bethlehem in Latin America and the Philippines. In Europe they are part of the Star Boy groups, which go from door to door.

According to an Irish legend the Virgin Mary sends angels each Christmas Eve to awaken children and take them to heaven to sing a carol to the Christ Child. Such children are then returned to their beds and are accounted lucky for the rest of their lives. In Europe angels often accompany the gift bringer and advise which children have been naughty or nice. Select this link to view our Christmas Tree Toppers.
