Angels
Angels are emissaries from God who play an important role in the Nativity. Gabriel begins the story by announcing the remarkable birth of two babies. One of the babies would be born to a couple thought to be too old to have children and would be named “John” and was later known as John the Baptist. The second baby would be born to a young, unwed woman named Mary who is engaged to a man named Joseph. The angel tells Mary and Joseph that the baby will be the Holy Son of Heavenly Father and will save the world and will be named “Jesus”. After the child Jesus is born the angel announces this special event to the shepherds and the Three Wise Men. When Herod tries to have the child killed, an angel warns the little family to flee to Egypt and tells them when it is finally safe to return.
Angels have been used as symbols of Christmas in figurines, ornaments, tree toppers, Christmas cards and even Christmas cookies. One of the most popular uses for angels at Christmas is to hang them above your nativity stable. Another popular usage of angels at Christmas is in music. There are countless songs from all over the world depicting angels heralding the birth of the Christ Child.
