The beautiful set of 3 angels comes from Puebla, Mexico. The "full name" of Puebla is PUEBLA DE LOS ANGELES. Puebla is the city of angels; you will find depictions of angels and cherubs all over the city, and here is why: 

 Legend has it that when the Cathedral of Puebla was built, the main Bell was so heavy that it was impossible to lift it to the top of the bell tower. Nothing worked, until angels descended on Puebla from the skies, and lifted the heavy bell up to the bell tower. Since then, Puebla is called PUEBLA DE LOS ANGELES (see last photos).
