Seraphs in Christian theology

In medieval Christian theology, the Seraphim belong to the highest order of the hierarchy of angels. They are said to be the caretakers of God's throne, continuously singing "'Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh'" - "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts, the whole earth is full of His Glory." (Isaiah 6:3).They are beings of pure light and thought and have direct communication with God. They resonate with the Fire of Love. Seraphim are often depicted as 6 wings radiating from a center either concealing a body or without a body.
