A pale angel. Grandma unwrapped her ceramic nativity one by one. White robes, white wings.
Grandma wiped them all and gave them a good shine.

“Grandma, all of your nativity is white,” Samena says. She wonders, is God white? Is Christ white?
Are all angels white?
Are all angels white?
“Angels are whatever you want them to be,” says Grandma.
“But all angels have blue eyes and blond hair,” Samena says.
Back at home, Samena gazes at her Christmas tree. On one of the top branches, there is a
white angel, and down further is a brown angel. Her aunt had given her the applicable brown/black
angel as a gift a few years back. Samena remembers when she was five; she asked her mother
when she would turn white. Her mother said, “Why do you want to be white; you have beautiful
brown skin.” She had tried to scrape off her brown skin with a metal spatula from the kitchen,
but nothing happened except for a purple bruise.
