BTW, in German, French, Romanian, Russian an angel is a mail, excuse the
foreign stamp collector..., a male.

Well I looked at my 80 or so collection,
and apart from Romanino's angels, Victor
they all apeared female.
(even Durer's "angel of the apocolypse" on the aust aerogramme)

We shall have to adopt Raphael's muse

Maybe we can agree on this:

"Yes, angels are men and women in the fullest sense who live together as
married couples, each individual being united with the partner God has
prepared for them. Often this is with the one with whom he or she spent
their time on earth. Angels look handsome or beautiful, having grown ever
more youthful in appearance from the time they arrive in the after-life; the
men strong but tender, the women beautiful and kind, and each radiating love
to all."

As for the "Raphael's muse" above, these angels are already fallen ;-)
