 In the 16th century, the "White Angel" was over-painted with another fresco, and so was hidden until the 20th century when the fresco was restored.A picture of the "White Angel" of Mileševa was sent as a message in the first satellite broadcast signal from Europe to America after the Cuban Missile Crisis, as a symbol of peace and civilization.Later, the same signal, containing the White Angel, was transmitted to space in an attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial life forms.
