Where do angels come from and how can they be recognized among other celestial beings? What does the mysterious Angel's Bread represent, and what is the meaning of the six wings of the seraphim? This book explores these fascinating questions and also focuses on archangels, major spiritual guides, as well as the differences between loves, cherubs, and cupids, figures often confused in art and religious tradition.
This work delves into the rich history of angels, including that of Los Angeles, a city placed under their patronage, and also addresses angelic representations in Islam, where certain angels play a central role as messengers and protectors. Accompanied by chromolithographs and devotional images that revive the beauty of angelic figures, this small book presents itself as an accessible and inspiring encyclopedia. It guides the reader in discovering these mystical beings, protectors and messengers of God, present in cultures worldwide and carrying a universal dimension that transcends religious boundaries.
