Isaiah 6:2 (KJV)
"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."
The face of Christ is based on the Holy Shroud. He appears in Light.
The Fiery Seraph stands floating, powerful.
He is the highest and most powerful being among the choirs of Angelic beings.
The Seraphs are the first emanation, and the only who can bear the seeing of God face to face.
But even they must cover their eyes.
He has many eyes, having the Power of Vision, he knows and sees everything.
Behind Him like a rising Sun is The Face of Christ, the Son of God, radiating Light.
The writings are in Greek on the left ἍΓΙΟΣ ἍΓΙΟΣ ἍΓΙΟΣ
and Latin on the right SANCTUS SANCTUS SANCTUS
they are the words He eternally repeats:
HOLY HOLY HOLY
(is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.)
In one hand, He holds a spear.
In the other, the Book containing the Word of God, the Logos.
At the center of His chest:
A Sacred Heart, bearing the Chi-Rho —
the ancient symbol formed from the intertwined initials of Christ:
Χ (Chi) and Ρ (Rho).
This is the same symbol the Emperor Constantine saw in a vision
before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge.
A divine voice said:
"In hoc signo vinces"
("Under this sign you will conquer")
Constantine placed the symbol on all his soldiers’ shields.
He was victorious in that battle and in the military campaigns that followed.
This sacred emblem is also known as the Cross of Constantine.
SERAPHIM IN TRADITION
In The Celestial Hierarchy (De Coelesti Hierarchia), Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite offers one of the earliest and most influential Christian descriptions of the Seraphim, drawing heavily from Isaiah 6. He assigns them the highest rank in the celestial order.
Here is a translated quote from Chapter VII (On the Seraphim):
"The name Seraphim clearly signifies their ever moving around divine things, their heat and keenness, their elevating power, and their consuming and unquenchable aptitude; and their property of purifying."
Key Characteristics Dionysius Attributes to Seraphim:
Fiery (from the Hebrew root saraph, meaning "to burn")
Closest to God, surrounding His throne
Purifiers, symbolising divine love that burns away sin
Mediators of illumination, transmitting divine light to lower orders of angels
