The Seraphim (Hebrew: שְׂרָפִים, Modern S'rafim, Tiberian Səraphîm; plural of Seraph, Hebrew: שָׂרָף, Saraph, meaning "burning one" or "serpent") are a rank of celestial beings in Jewish and Christian angelology. In the Book of Isaiah, they are described as winged creatures with six wings, standing above the throne of God, singing his praise. The Seraphim are considered to be a high-ranking choir of angels, often depicted as beings of pure light or fire, symbolizing their intense love and devotion to God. In Christian tradition, they are often associated with purification and divine love. The term "Seraphim" is also found in various other languages, such as Russian (Серафимы, Serafimy) and Latin (Seraphim).
