Two angels (both of whom are "archangels", who lead other angels) are mentioned by name in the [[Bible]]: [[Michael (archangel)|Michael]] and [[Gabriel]]. [[Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] tradition in the [[Book of Tobit]] also mentions [[Raphael (archangel)|Raphael]] by name.

Angels separate the good in life from the [[evil]]: "So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous." {{bibleref|Matthew 13|49}}

In pictures angels are usually depicted as very beautiful creatures with golden hair, wings and long robes making them appear feminine. In contrast pictures depicting Michael the Archangel show him in armor usually crushing [[Satan]] beneath his feet.
