Cherubim

Cherubim are celestial beings often depicted in religious texts and art, particularly in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the Bible, they are described as guardians of sacred spaces, such as the Garden of Eden and the Ark of the Covenant. Typically portrayed with human and animal features, including wings, they symbolize wisdom, protection, and the presence of God. Unlike the common image of cherubs as cute infants, cherubim are powerful spiritual entities. Their role is to serve as intermediaries between the divine and earthly realms, emphasizing the majesty and mystery of the divine presence.
