Definition
- Angels feature in people's lives, deaths, and afterlives in the form of guardian angels, angels that meet people after death or dead people who become angels. After a period in which secularization led to an eclipse of angels, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in angels in relation to death, for instance in popular religiosity.
