Guardian Angel Day is celebrated globally, predominantly in the United States of America dedicated to celebrating every person who is your guardian angel. A large number of people across the world engage in the festivities on this day and celebrate it with great enthusiasm.
Guardian Angel Day is celebrated by people belonging to Roman Catholicism, but it is not limited to that. This is the day when people take an opportunity to say thanks to God for bringing different guardian angels into their lives for making the experience
Although Catholics arranged altars to honor the guardian angels as early as the fourth century, the celebrations of the feast did not start till the 11th century.
Guardian Angel Day is known that the first celebrations were authorized by Pope Paul V.
The history relating to the Roman Catholicism celebration of the guardian angels day has a detailed and comprehensive aspect. In various religious texts, we can witness that Catholics set up the altars to please the guardian angels as early as the fourth century. But the celebrations did not start till the 11th century; the belief gained prominence in the catholic church around the 12th century.
Pope Paul the fifth was responsible for authorizing the first-ever celebrations of a feast of guardian angels in 1608. However, the belief in guardian angels is not only restricted to Christians. Even people belonging to other communities believe that guardian angels exist, and their essential job is to look out for us and protect us in every way possible. A tiny bit in the new testament also talks about angels meddling in the affairs of man and god. But guardian angels are those divine beings who have been raised from the lowest ranks.

There are no specific oriented traditions that are dictated to be followed by people on this day. You are free to form your own way of celebrating guardian angel's day. Many people go to the church to pay their gratitude and pray; you can be one among them. But, of course, the foremost important thing about this day is to acknowledge the guardian angels in our lives, so make sure you are making your tradition complementary to that belief.
There are numerous available to celebrate the importance of guardian angels on this day. For starters, you could read a book about them. Plenty of books are available to help you with that; read the passages in the old testament that highlight guardian angels' existence. Gaining knowledge has never hurt anyone, and understanding more about the day makes you celebrate it even more joyfully. This day is no less than any other important religious holiday, so we suggest you cook a feast, make some heavy bible themed food, in addition to your family invite people over for dinner and have a great time.
The guardian angels represent a spirit of protection to the people assigned to keep a watch over.
It is a popular and significant belief in Roman catholicism that watching over children is one of the primary roles of guardian angels. God assigns them to protect a particular being.
Pope Pius the sixth always used to recite a passage that acknowledged the existence of guardian angels, that was, 'Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day is at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.'
It makes sense to get excited for Guardian Angel Day since this is the day people get to say thanks and appreciate guardian angels for looking out and protecting us from harm's way.
The Guardian Angel Day is also associated with the memorial of the holy guardian angels, a part of the memorial of the catholic church.
