Angels are an important part of many faiths, including Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Baháʼí Faith and others. Since these have been around for a long time, you’ll also find representations of angels in multiple types of art – Renaissance art, Persian art, Baroque art and art of the Romantic age.

You will find sculptures of angels across the world – Italy, Germany, Bolivia, Mexico, Colombia and many other countries. Yes, angels really are all around us, across the globe!

Whether you believe in the idea of guardian angels or not, there’s no doubt that a pretty angel sitting on top of the Christmas tree is what completes it. If you’re looking for some angel crafts to make this holiday season, here are some of the best we’ve found!
