Lately, why have angels been depicted as women?

Question

I didn't think most angels were of either gender.

Answer 1

because angels are supposed to comfort us, and women comfort us (children) more then men.

angels are depicted as women because that way they are motherly figures, and no one comforts us more then Mommy :)

and in guardian angels, who protects children ???

Mothers :) so angels are mirror images of our mothers :)

Answer 2

They're of either. Angels want all the benefits, too. But I think I've seen them depicted as both genders (Nicholas Cage from City of Angels, Dela Reese from Touched by an Angel). Being a woman, you're just seeing what you want to.

Answer 3

In the Bible angels are depicted as men and have male names. Women are shown as angels in this culture to depict beauty, which of course women have(not all).

Answer 4

Unfortunately because man has put his two cents in. I have not read anywhere in the Word of God were angels where given a gender. May God Bless U.

Answer 5

You're right, angels are asexual(for they shall be as the angels, neither married nor given in marriage). i think the depicition of angels as women is out of a desire to see angels as guardians, as protectors, and that most often in our society, is the role of a woman, our mothers.

Answer 6

Hey! You're a kittikat too!

I think angels were women cuz that means that Satan is a woman too because I have a sneaking suspicion that Satan is a woman!

Answer 7

Maybe because angels are beautiful, and so are women?

Answer 8

Actually it depends on who's telling the story or relating the incident.
