The Christian Bible offers some 300 references to Angels.

It is often stated that when an Angel descends to the earth, it brings with it a part of the light of the heavens, thus perhaps explaining the strong association of white to represent that light.

"Angelophany" is the visible or otherwise tangible manifestation of angels to human beings. Abraham Lincoln frequently mentioned that he was visited by angels at the White House.

Gabriel is a unique archangel in the sense that it is almost certain that she is the only female in the higher echelons.
