I don’t know if it represents Angeles; but should be Angeles . However, some of the Gim Nefxegna priests do the vodoo spirit activities ( Debterra) and hence that stuff representing snakes.

The staff of Moses:

And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.” Numbers 21:8,9

Thank you Selam, for Biblical lesson ... Cause absence of knowledge lead these bozos to go for a wild goose hunt of their life.

Thank you Selam. I thought serpent/smnake is the servant of Devil/satan that misled Hawwa and many others. I didn't know it has respect in Christian religion.
