Agents Of Praise, Proclaimers Of God's Intentions, Intangible Warriors

Isaiah 6:2-3

Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

And one cried unto another, and said Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory.


Seraphim, is the plural form of seraph, or "fiery ones", high level angels who job appears to be constantly praising God.  

Here is some background information on them, the word is only mentioned in Isaiah.

This one is painted in fresco in the Vladimir Cathedral in Kiev.  

I left out all the wings in my illustration of the impossible to really illustrate.  I was going for a sense of the fieriness and a sort of inhuman, but recognizable to us humans vision of an angelic being.

Its frightening in a way to attempt these things.  In a way its just a painted board.  In a way its a vision.  Its me with my heart open.
