This devotional book takes a fresh look at the familiar Advent readings. One year, as I got ready for Christmas, I found myself asking an unusual question. Maybe a foolish one. I'm sure that if I asked you, you would have one of two answers. Well, I don't know.
Angels wear long white robes and have wings and a halo.
The Bible doesn't really say what angels look like. You'd think that they might have given at least some details. But it doesn't say. When artists try to represent angels, the standard picture is of a human-like figure with a robe and wings. I'm not sure why that is.
