Angels Banners

[HelenaZF]

:zf: He will give His angels charge over thee





This is a banner that I built in 2002 as a gift to a favorite aunt. She loves angels, and has many representations through her home. I designed a banner for her that depicts angels as strong, masculine warriors. The four angels surround a psalmic blessing.



The banner hangs mid-way in a 3 story atrium that houses a library and a cupola outfitted with colored glass windows. As the sunlight moves around the room, the changing colored light gives the banner an ever-changing glow.

The design of this banner was adapted (with permission) from original dustcover artwork by Thomas Klauba for the book <URL url="http://www.amazon.com/What-Bible-Says-about-Angels/dp/157673336X/sr=1-30/qid=1157736703/ref=sr_1_30/103-1131894-6901400?ie=UTF8&s=books">What the Bible Says About Angels by David Jeremiah. We highly recommend this book as a scriptural way to understand angels.
