Dear A.K.: The Bible tells us that angels are spiritual beings — that is, they don't have physical bodies like you and I do. The Bible calls them "ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation" (Hebrews 1:14).

But at times they are able to take on physical bodies, or appear to us in physical form. Admittedly, this is hard for us to understand — but the angels are God's servants, and He enables them to take on physical bodies if it becomes necessary. The angels who appeared to the shepherds to announce Jesus' birth filled the heavens with their presence (see Luke 2:13-14). When the women came to Jesus' tomb on that first Easter morning an angel met them to announce His resurrection, and the Bible says, "His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow" (Matthew 28:3).
