Description of the illustration: A cherub (/ˈtʃɛrəb/; also pl. cherubim; Hebrew: כְּרוּב kərūv, pl. כְּרוּבִים, kərūvîm; Latin cherub, pl. cherubin, cherubim; Syriac ܟܪܘܒܐ) is one of the unearthly beings who directly attend to God according to Abrahamic religions.
The numerous depictions of cherubim assign to them many different
