No, @BlueBells, there was an 'angel' who told Mary that she would bear Jesus. Michael the archangel, Gabriel, Raphael. Personally, I see angels as having wings, however, does it say that they had wings in the bible, or has art influence our perceptions? Anyway, I don't believe in winged angels. 'Spirits' may be a presence—it depends on the person describing.
I saw an interesting YouTube video with an academic who recognized that elements of the bible were plagiarised from myth. Quite a number have drawn the same conclusion. There was a linked story of walking on water, feeding the masses etc. Many have researched this and say, credibly, that much is plagiarised.
