Wings of Light
The Wings of Light appear in the TV Series and in the movies Death and End of Evangelion. They appear during both Second Impact and Third Impact. During Second Impact, Adam produces white Wings of Light and during Third Impact, Evangelion Unit-01 produces white ones. While these are transparent, the wings that Rei/Lilith produces during Third Impact are white and opaque, almost as if they were an extension of her physical body.
Symbolism
The most obvious symbolism is that of the Christian Angels.
Analysis
Although the true purpose of the Wings of Light are unknown, both occur during an event where souls are involved. Presumably during Second Impact, the souls of the Katsuragi Expedition's team can be seen floating around when Adam spreads Wings of Light. During Third Impact, the souls of everyone on Earth are collected.
