A snow angel is a man-made depression formed in an area of Snow in the shape of an angel. Making snow angels is a common Childhood Game . A child lying in pristine snow making a snow angel is often construed as an almost Clicheed symbol of innocence, in part because of the possible connection between the purity and brilliance of snow and the Divine nature of Angel s in mythology. Other potential analogies exist; for instance, snow falls from the Sky , which is often associated with notions of Heaven . TECHNIQUE The creation of the snow angel is a simple process. The first step is to find snow, preferably a smooth, powdery, virgin area about two yards in diameter. Slushy or icy snow is unacceptable, not only is it harder to move efficiently, it also has a risk of soaking through the clothes. The next step is to lie supine, spread-eagled in the center of the snow. The limbs are then swept back and forth, creating a trough through the snow. When it is finished, the snow angel should have the appearance of an angel, the movement of the arms having formed wings, and that of the legs having formed a gown. SEE ALSO
