seraphic
Like celestial beings
Seraphic means angelic or heavenly, suggesting the radiant purity associated with seraphim—the highest order of angels in Christian tradition.
The word typically describes expressions or qualities of sublime innocence and beatific calm: a seraphic smile, her seraphic face.
It often carries a sense of otherworldly peace or spiritual transcendence.
