Where Do Guardian Angels Originate?
The Romans believed in local deities who watched over a specific town or region. Each deity had different duties to protect the fields, stockpiles of food or weapons, or individual people.
The Greeks believed in spirits who would watch over people. An example is Hermes, a winged messenger.

Following upon its Jewish heritage, Christianity understands angels to be messengers of God and to mediate between God and each person. It is believed that every soul is assigned a guardian angel at conception.

Definition: “Someone who is specially devoted to the interests of another.”
- Chambers 21st Century Dictionary
