    Actually, the impression I have is most angels in the Bible didn't have wings, and the 6-winged angel was a specialised one for that specific task. 

    You should look up Biblical descriptions of angels, because they are WILD. Most types of angels didn't even look vaguely human. 

    ...fey? Classic ancient monsters?   

    Here you go.

    I think I'm going to stick with the Hollywood version of the Bible, which is symbolic, rather than a literal representation of what's described in the bible.  I don't want the images to be incomprehensible to 99.9% of people. I'm also taking into consideration that a lot of the weirdness in the Bible is stuff that occurs in "visions" and other states of altered consciousness.

    Okay... I guess you won't be needing those Sumerian underwear then...
    Which is okay I suppose... they are pretty stiff and burlapie... and I'm fairly sure a family of Lebanese chipmunks once used them as a nest before PT Barnum owned them... aside from their obvious historic importance, they aren't very comfortable anyway.

    But if you were going for visions and altered states of consciousness, I could have tie-dyed them for you beforehand... it definitely would hide all the unsightly age related stains (that's my explanation for them and I'm sticking to it).

    Anyway... Good luck!

    You're right... that is delightfully freaky.  laughlaugh  And the quietly-droning music is a nice touch. So is the flunf!!! sound when they jump-cut from angel to angel. smiley

    I still maintain that that was purely a symbolic vision he was having.  On the other hand, some other people have looked at that passage and said "That's not an angel, that's a freaking UFO! It's an alien spacecraft!"  I'm not sure I buy that one.  0o

    edit: Yeah, what @Fauvist said. cool

    ...doesn't look at all like Moroni, that's for sure.  

    Imagine the sheperds seeing a great company of any of these appearing to announce the divine birth.
