Seraphims may be described as very tall, with six wings and four heads, one for each the
cardinal directions with one pair of wings for flying, one for covering their eyes and one for
covering their feet. They are the highest order of Angelic Servant beings of pure light with
shining bodies. According to the scriptures they constantly chant the Trisagion, "Holy, holy,
holy..." They constantly sing the praises of the Creator, thus maintaining the vibration of the
creation. They direct the creative power of love, the divine energy of fire into the whole creation,
purifying it constantly and redeeming those who return.
According to Enoch II, the Seraphim have 4 faces and 6 wings. It has been written that these
six wings represent the six days of creation. Depicted in Middle Age writings, the Seraphim
are described as being red in color and brandishing flaming swords.
SERAPHIM
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and
his train filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he
covered his feet, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to
another and said:
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Sabaoth [angelic hosts];
the whole earth is full of his glory."
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house
was filled with smoke.
