seraphim
Six-winged beings
Seraphim is the Hebrew plural of seraph, a type of celestial being described in the Book of Isaiah as having six wings and attending God's throne.
In Christian angelology, seraphim rank highest among the nine orders of angels, associated with divine fire and purification.
The word appears in religious texts and literary contexts evoking heavenly imagery: the seraphim sang praises.
English also uses the anglicized plural seraphs.
