Seraphim in The Throne Room...

Thrones. Fiery Two Winged Wheels.

       The following is the most complete illustration that we are acquainted with of the winged and fiery wheels spoken of by the prophet Ezekiel, "full of eyes round about." It (above) comes from a little church at Athens, now probably destroyed, but which, at the date of it's recording as a drawing 1839. (from a mural)

In biblical tradition seraphim and cherubim are interchangable.
Both refer to the pure and holy angels surrounding God's throne.
However, in western culture cherubim are given symbolic "infant"
 bodies because we associate purity with the innocence of babies.

        "In a representation on the imperial dalmatic now preserved in the treasury of St. Peter at Rome, the feet of Jesus Christ rest on two wheels which exactly resemble the above. This magnificent vestment is of Byzantine origin, and indeed throughout all the ancient empire of Byzantium, angels are found of this wheel form, intended to bear the figure of God the Father or of Jesus Christ. 

       These wheels, specially assigned to the order of Thrones by the Byzantines, but attributed by Ezekiel to all angels in general are various forms. At Chartres, they have neither flames, nor wings, nor eyes; they rather affect the more material form of a chariot wheel." Didron

Sculptured Angel, Chartres, XIII. Cent.

      "The Latins, more rational than the Easterns, have preferred representing angels under human form. As regards the ideal, Latin nations are divisible into two classes: ultramontane or Italian, and western. Italians, nearest to that Greece who planted her foot among them at Venice, at Ravenna, and throughout all Sicily." Didron
