An angel is a supernatural being or spirit often depicted in various religious traditions and spiritual beliefs as a messenger or servant of a higher power. Angels are typically portrayed as benevolent entities who provide guidance, protection, and support to humans. They are commonly described as having a human-like form with wings, symbolizing their ability to move between the divine and earthly realms. In many cultures, angels serve as intermediaries between God or gods and people, delivering important messages or carrying out divine tasks. Beyond religious texts, angels also appear in art, literature, and folklore, representing purity, hope, and spiritual strength.
