"Gabriel the Cherub" In the biblical view, the cherubim, along with the seraphim, are closest to the Almighty. In the angelic hierarchy they are the second highest rank after the seraphim. The appearance of these ranks is different: the seraphim have animal-like bodies and are depicted in scarlet, while the cherubim are blue-blue and have a human image. Gabriel plays an irreplaceable character in all three religions, and is one of the few biblical heroes recognized in opposing religious currents. He patronizes people of art: artists, musicians, writers, actors, etc.
