Fallen angel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the view of fallen angels in Abrahamic religions. For other uses, see Fallen angel (disambiguation). Statue of the Fallen Angel, Retiro Park (Madrid, Spain) Statue of "The Fallen Angels" (1893) by Salvatore Albano at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City A fallen angel is a wicked or rebellious angel that has been cast out of Heaven. The term is found neither in the Hebrew Bible nor the Deuterocanonical Books nor the New Testament. Nonetheless, Biblical commentators often use fallen angel to describe angels who sinned or angels cast down to the Earth from the War in Heaven; Satan,[1] demons,[2] or certain Watchers.[3] The term has also become popular in fiction and literature regarding angels. Mention of angels who descended to Mount Hermon, (not "fell") to Earth is found in the Book of Enoch, which the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church accept as canonical, as well as in various pseudepigrapha
