The Peridot Silver Angel Necklace. Pendant of Hope.
Angels have been recorded in history by many different cultures throughout the world. Some scholars say that the earliest religious representation of angels dates back to the city of Ur, in the Euphrates Valley, c. 4000-2500 b.c
Without doubt, based upon archeological evidence and other prehistoric information, there were angels long before Christianity appeared on the religious stage. Angels are ancient, and our ancestors were well aware of their power to intervene in our human affairs, bringing us courage, freedom, comfort and hope.
Some years ago, Lin Evola, a painter, had a vision. She would melt down guns and the casings of nuclear weapons, and use the metal for sculpturing angels — peace angels. In the course of asking people to put down their weapons, she imagined that she would contribute to the process of creating peace in the world. Ms. Evola, who is now 50, has followed her vision of peace all over the world. She hopes that the angels will eventually find homes in Johannesburg, Jerusalem, Sarajevo, Belfast, Los Angeles and New York.
Hope is?
Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. ~Lin Yutang
