In stained glass, angels are often shown with multi-colored wings that shimmer with radiant light. Each pane of color reflects a sense of divine harmony, blending blues, reds, and golds into a vision of the heavenly. Their vibrant wings seem to carry not just the angels themselves, but also the spirit of hope and transcendence.

Trinity Reformed Church
Ridgewood, Queens

In many churches, angels are often tucked into the nooks and crannies of stained glass windows, peeking out from corners or woven into intricate patterns. Their hidden placement encourages worshippers to look more closely, discovering divine presence in unexpected places. This subtle design reflects the belief that angels move quietly among us, unseen but always near. By concealing them within the glass, artists remind the faithful that the sacred often reveals itself only to those who truly seek it.

An angel stands gracefully, holding a wand crowned with delicate wings that mirror its own. The wand glows softly, as if channeling the same divine light that radiates from the angel’s presence. Together, the angel and its winged wand symbolize guidance, transformation, and the lifting of the spirit.
