Angel of the Grail Greeting Card

The birth of the depiction of angels with wings really came into existence through artists who wished to share their interpretation about angelic ethereal beings who visit mankind from a higher realm, namely "Heaven." The wings translate the idea quite well that spirits come from above, from the heavens.

They act as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Humanity.  Angels operate discretely and often don’t draw attention to themselves as they carry out their assignment of watching over us.
