Where does it say that angels have wings?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) November 22nd, 2008

First off, PLEASE don’t turn this into a debate on religion. I personally don’t believe in God, nor do I believe in angels. If you do, that’s fine.
What I would like to know is how it came to be that angels are depicted with white feathered wings when (at least to my knowledge) there is nothing in the Bible or the Koran that makes reference to that. Were there other religions outside of the Judeo-Christian/Islam faiths that may have borrowed from the idea had angels with wings?
