GATA teamed up with Milan-based creatives for this editorial to bring you closer to the celestial world. 

In Christianity, angels are the agents of God. There are three types and they follow a hierarchic system. 

The angels that are closer to God are:

  • SERAPHIM

The seraphim angels are the closest to God. They encircle his throne and emit an intense fiery light representing their light, the loving light of God.

  • CHERUBIM

    The Cherubim angels are the divine keepers of celestial records and hold the knowledge of God. The Cherub angels are sent to Earth when there is a great need with matters of most importance, like when humankind was expelled from the Garden of Eden. Ancient art depicts the Cherubim as sphinx-like and winged creatures with human faces. Lucifer was a Cherub before his fall from grace in heaven.

THRONES

  • The Thrones appear to have the weirdest appearance because they appear as great glowing wheels covered with many eyes. The Thrones serve as God's chariot and "dispense his judgment" to carry out his desires for us. The Thrones are considered "heavenly governors, attempting to strike a balance between matter and spirit, good and bad."
