Be An Angel Day is observed on August 22 each year, pushes us to become someone’s angel of sorts. Whether it is a grand gesture or small, 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.
Short 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.
When British and French troops were wounded on battlefields while fighting the Germans during World War I, both sides gave accounts of seeing an angel.
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.

Even holding a door for new mom with stroller or elderly person, when speaking to seller/cashier say to them good morning/day/evening and at the end wish a nice day, etc. These are small gestures, but to someone they can mean a lot so BE AN ANGEL and spread kindness around the world today!
