Why do angels have halos above their heads?
Halos are mans interpretation of the holiness of such divine personages. A halo has no beginning nor does it have an end, signifying their purpose is of one eternal round.
Angels are in fact persons who once lived upon the earth and are now spirits. They are given certain responsibilities to return to earth with a message for some chosen person or persons.
Clairvoyants are not able to summon angels.
Technically angels halos are not of Christian origin they came from a religion 200 BC who believed in a man who was brought to earth to save us, born in a manger and all that so its almost exactly like christianity
The reason why Angels are depicted within Halos is because Angelic beings[That of Cherubim] appear within vaporous rings that glow. Angelic beings descend within a whirlwind and thick NIMBUS cloud, which becomes a perfect spinning white ring of vapor.This is why a Halo is also called a Nimbus.The ring or Halo glows, and it is this that make a rainbow appear around its peripheral.
The image of the Halo has been depicted wrongly to be a a light around the heads of saints, NO, it is the Halo or ring of the Cherubim that is above the heads of the persons who saw them.The rings are concealed and appear from within a thick spiritual nimbus cloud,this is why the words HALO and NIMBUS are connected.

When a woman has a child, even the son of God. Mary's attention would have been on the welfare of the child. She knew that her newborn was the Sone of God as the angel had told her. Having shepherds come to visit, also the Wise Men would have been not suprise to her. We do not know what her thoughts were.

God's bidding; he is by definition a messenger of God. Heavenly angels do God's will, while fallen angels practice deceit and wickedness. "Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word." Psalm 103:20 In the Christian religion an angel is a messenger of God. For example: Angel Gabriel was sent down to Mary to inform her that she was to have God's child. This is the celebration of Christmas.
Answer2: Angels are spirit creatures who live in heaven. They are a higher form of life than human life. The true God, who is himself a spirit, created the angels before he created the earth. (Job 38:4, 7; Matthew 18:10) Jehovah has surrounded himself with millions of loyal angels.-Read Psalm 103:20, 21; Daniel 7:9, 10.

Who are the four archangels in judaism?
Only Michael is specifically referred to in the Bible as an 'archangel'....Jude 1 v9, 1 Thessalonians 4 v16. (Other traditions and the apocryphal books regard others as archangels, namely Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael with many more in Greek Orthodoxy). In the Bible, Gabriel, the angel who announced the birth of Christ in the Bible, is labelled simply as an 'angel' rather than an 'archangel'.
Some believe that by reading scriptures we learn that Michael is actually Jesus, Michael is Jesus' heavenly name, that Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) gave him. However, this is speculation and not borne out in scripture at all.

Are Seraphim serpent-angels or angels in the form of serpents?
A:
Reference is made in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 6, to seraphim (sing: seraph or Hebrew, śārāf), who were part of God's retinue and it seems they were six-winged creatures of fire, but Isaiah did not identify the seraphim with angels.
Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) note that mythological four- and six-winged cobras are found in Egyptian mythology and even in Israel, and that the Hebrew name for cobras and the mythological variety is śārāf ('the one that burns'). They say that the seraphim found in Isaiah can only be viewed as the same mythological serpent creatures. Seraphim should not be thought of as angels in a specific Jewish or Christian sense, but as part of an ancient Near Eastern culture that Israel shared with Egypt and other neighbouring nations.
On the other hand, Christian tradition has seen seraphim become a class of angels, along with Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and (lowest of all) simple 'angels'.
(1) Daniel 10:13 sqq., Gabriel says to Daniel, when he asks God to permit the Jews to return to Jerusalem: "The Angel [D.V. prince] of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me . . . and, behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me . . . and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince."
(2) Daniel 12, the Angel speaking of the end of the world and the Antichrist says: "At that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people."
(3) In the Catholic Epistle of St. Jude: "When Michael the Archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses", etc. St. Jude alludes to an ancient Jewish tradition of a dispute between Michael and Satan over the body of Moses, an account of which is also found in the apocryphal book on the assumption of Moses (Origen, De Principiis III.2.2). St. Michael concealed the tomb of Moses; Satan, however, by disclosing it, tried to seduce the Jewish people to the sin of hero-worship. St. Michael also guards the body of Eve, according to the "Revelation of Moses" ("Apocryphal Gospels", etc., ed. A. Walker, Edinburgh, p. 647).
(4) Apocalypse 12:7, "And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon." St. John speaks of the great conflict at the end of time, which reflects also the battle in heaven at the beginning of time. According to the Fathers there is often question of St. Michael in Scripture where his name is not mentioned. They say he was the cherub who stood at the gate of paradise, "to keep the way of the tree of life" (Genesis 3:24), the angel through whom God published the Decalogue to his chosen people, the angel who stood in the way against Balaam (Numbers 22:22 sqq.), the angel who routed the army of Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:35).
Who was the angel who guarded the Garden from Adam and Eve?
Genesis 3:24: So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
There was no angel. As you can see above, Genesis says that God placed cherubim (sing: cherub) and a flaming sword on the path, so that Adam and Eve could not return.
Cherubim, found throughout much of the ancient Near East, were sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions, and wings. They were not angels, and no name is given in Genesis..
