In \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew%2018%3A10\u0026amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMatthew 18:10\u003c\/a\u003e, Jesus speaks of children and their angels in heaven. He says these angels always look upon the face of God the Father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Basil the Great and Saint Jerome, early Church writers, built on this idea in the 4th century. They taught that an unseen protector stands beside every believer from birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrayers and Family Traditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bedtime prayer that begins Angel of God, my guardian dear traces back to an 11th century Latin verse. It was written by a Benedictine monk named Reginald in Canterbury, England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCenturies later, during the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church encouraged simple family prayers like this one. This \u003cstrong\u003eguardian angel statue\u003c\/strong\u003e carries that same tradition of prayer and comfort at a child's bedside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 17th century, Pope Paul V extended the Feast of the Guardian Angels to the whole Church. It is now celebrated each year on October 2nd. Many families mark the day with stories, small activities, and even angel food cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGuardian Angel Statue | Meaningful Addition to Any Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eangel garden statue\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs naturally with pieces from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.museumize.com\/collections\/christianity-angels-crosses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eChristianity Angels and Crosses collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
