From Exodus 23:20 [1]:
Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.
"Catholics set up altars in honor of guardian angels as early as the 4th Century, and local celebrations of a feast in honor of guardian angels go back to the 11th Century." ... "The feast was first kept by the Franciscan order in 1500." [2] "In 1615, Pope Paul V added it to the Roman calendar." [3]
