noun m
cherub, winged creature = heavenly creature with wings, ► carrying the throne of God, symbol of God's majesty, and associated with his presence The cherubim have a close connection to the temple and the manifestation of the deity due to their apotropaic function. Their association with vegetation in the temple iconography and in Gn 3.24 is linked to the idea that they served as boundary markers, designating and guarding sacred space.
