Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"

Betty, this was new to me. Was it like that just in America (with all the multiple Protestant denominations) or also in Britain? The problem I have with the term "angels" (and that's why I posted the painting) is that for me, who as an Lutheran grew up in a Catholic area, angels (like the worshipping of saints, the pope and the principle of trinity) are intrinsically tied to the Catholic faith rather than to the Lutheran believe. Is this different in other Protestant denominations? (Do others worship angels like the Catholic do?)
