The chief angel is Archangel who is also known as Saint Michael. The angels' canon in Christianity rapidly evolved during 1100 AD to 1200 AD. The teachings of Saint Thomas Aquinas have great importance regarding the evolution of angels. The great importances of angels lie in the fact that they brought the news of the birth of Lord Jesus. Mary, the Holy Mother got divine news from Gabriel that she is going to bear God's son. It is also believed that God had appointed tiny angels to look over Joseph and Mary on their way to Bethlehem.
The angels were beside themselves with joy when they got the news of the birth of God's son. They flew all over singing sweetly and it could be heard from all corners of the earth. We have a beautiful hymn "Hark The Herald Angels Sing". This hymn is played in all church choirs in the Christmas season.
