🧚DAILYS SUNDAY AUGUST 22 🧚

🧚Be An Angel Day – August 22, 2021🧚

Be An Angel Day — observed on August 22 each year, pushes us to become someone’s angel of sorts. Whether it is a grand gesture (sponsoring someone’s education) or small (saying ‘thank you’ when someone helps you), a good gesture goes a long way towards sending goodwill out into the world. By supporting someone in need (or recalling someone who supported you), you celebrate the very essence of this day.

HISTORY OF BE AN ANGEL DAY

Angelic-type beings have always been recognized and immortalized, some say since the dawn of civilization. Many religions believe angels are supernatural beings acting as protectors and messengers, among other roles.

The word ‘angel’ comes from the Latin term ‘angelus,’ meaning ‘messenger of God.’ These beings have taken on many forms in legends of the past, appearing as human-like beings, monsters, and even wheels of fire.

Angels began to be immortalized in art, sculpture, literature, and scripture, and by the 4th century, their wings also made an appearance. European artists were the first to create paintings of such beings, and by the 12th century, this version of angels became wildly popular. However, archaeologists have found altars that were dedicated to winged individuals believed to be angels from before this time. Famous creators like Michelangelo, Bernini, and Shakespeare prominently featured angels in their work.

When British and French troops were wounded on battlefields while fighting the Germans during World War I, both sides gave accounts of seeing angels. The French soldiers reported seeing Michael the Archangel, while the British thought it was Saint George. Both deities are believed to be the same by segments of the population. This mysterious angel was later named Angel of Mons, after the place where both armies reported the appearance. In the modern world, angels are not restricted to spirituality alone; their presence is felt everywhere.

Reverend Jayne Howard Feldman also feels the presence of angels. After all, her website claims that angels inspired her to create this day. She started this day almost 27 years ago to encourage people to commit small acts of kindness, and over the years, the popularity of this day has grown in leaps and bounds.
