Within the Catholic tradition, the cherubs are those angels who sit right next to God, and who have a lower hierarchical position than that of the seraphim. Specifically, these angels are located in the second of the angelic choirs and are in charge of protecting the Glory of God. The characteristics of these, however, may vary according to the Christian variant that is studied. In the same way, it is the name given to young children or infants who present great beauty, especially when they are male. This is because, over time, the meaning of this term was mutating until it became "a child with wings."
This comes from the Hebrew "כְּרוּב", which Latinized would be "cherub" and in the Greek language "cherub"; it can be translated as "bull." This is how it is called one of the groups of angels that have the most important hierarchical position among the angelic choirs. Angels, it should be noted, are immaterial or supernatural beings, whose main mission is to serve and assist God; They obey orders from both Jesus and the Holy Spirit. These beings are often depicted with great human beauty, in addition to their characteristic purity, since they simply have a neutral nature.
According to Catholic teachings, cherubs can only be seen by people who have been elevated to a higher plane, those for whom heaven opens. In Judaism its mere existence is a particularly controversial issue, at least in traditional rabbinic Judaism. In its various variants the existence of these is mentioned, but the belief or worship of them is not widespread.
