I have seen a lot of discussion threads on ¨Camino angels,¨ but I am interested in something different and didn´t find a thread on the topic. Who has photos of paintings, scultures, etc. of angels along a camino you´ve walked that you particularly like? I would love to see people´s photos of angels they´ve seen along the way.

To get started, here is a favorite angel of mine - from the museum at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela by Master Mateo.

The church is San Miguel and the angel has the attributes of Saint Michael, a sword and slaying a dragon so I think it is the archangel Michael.

Great details, Rick. Yes, there was a dragon underfoot and he, (apparently St. Michael) is carrying a sword to stab it.
