"Oh, really? Does Jesus have wings now?" That's sort of sad...snicker. Sorry; I can't help it! :)

Well I admit the first part was sorta flippant. The “Angel of the Lord” appearances spoken of in the OT were certainly visitations of Jesus himself. There is a word for it, “theophany”. If the icon was attempting to communicate that then, ok, I see it. But Jesus is NOT a created being like an angel - I think the LDS got some of their screwy doctrine about Jesus and Lucifer being brothers from that idea.
