The divine presence of angels

Angel

People are keen to believe in angels or something akin to them that protect us. Dheera Sujan has been finding out why. Why were angels “invented”? What do they look like? Can we communicate with them? (A woman on the programme says she can.)

Angels aren’t necessarily symbols of good or restricted to Christianity. Angels have achieved iconic status, and they have frequently been visualised in movies and sung about in popular music.
