Angels-ANGELOPHANY

“Angelophany” is the visible or otherwise tangible manifestation of
angels to human beings. The concept is similar to theophany, the visible
manifestation of a diety. In traditional angel lore, angels often visit
human beings, but are usually invisible to them. The promptings that
one supposedly receives from a guardian angel, conveyed in the form
of vague feelings or intuitions, are not tangible enough to be considered
angelophanies. Paradigmatic angelophanies are the visible manifestations
of angels that occurred to traditional religious figures, such
as the appearance of Gabriel to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
