 ANGELS
The angels of Christian art can be
traced back to the winged messengers-spirits of Assyrian
sculpture and the Cherubim of Jewish
Art which were human figures with wings. Seraphs
described in the Old Testament
have three pairs of wings, with which they reverently
cover both face and feet as they fly around the throne of
God; and this passage provide the type for the seraphs of
Christian art. The angels of the Old Testament are
messengers of Jehovah in human guise.
