Seraphim Angels' Names

Many civilizations believe in angels, and many names have been given to the various angels. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Bible names only three angels that have a definite individual personality. They are Michael – Prince of Angels Gabriel – Archangel of Annunciation, Resurrection, Mercy, Revelation, and Death and Satan – The Fallen Angel. (Gabriel is considered by many theologians to have been female.) There are many other angel names mentioned in other texts, such as Uriel, Raphael, and Metatron, the origins of which can be extremely complicated to uncover.

In the world of collectible figurines, seraphim angels’ names consist of female first names, such as Rosalyn, Francesca, or Ariel, and a designation such as Rarest of Heaven, Loving Guardian, or Heaven’s Shining Star. These names and designations are sometimes derived from religious texts or etymological roots, but often they originate in the hearts and minds of artists who give them form as figurines and sculptures. Sometimes the artist can “receive" their names as symbols from actual angels.

Any seraphim angels enthusiast can tell you the name of his or her favorite figurines. Some famous seraphim angels’ names are Seraphina – Heaven’s Helper, Helena – Heaven’s Herald, Flora – Flower of Heaven, Emily – Heaven’s Treasure, Harmony – Love’s Guardian, and Vanessa – Heavenly Maiden. The figurines to which these names belong were sculpted by Gaylord Ho and distributed exclusively as limited editions of the Seraphim Classics Collection by Roman. They have all won awards and unending prestige for their outstanding craftsmanship.

In the world of porcelain figurines, the most famous of seraphim angels’ names is Alyssa – Nature’s Angel. Alyssa was a 12" figurine distributed by Roman in 1995 and named Figurine of the Year by the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers for 1996. Known for ushering in the unparalleled success of the Seraphim Classics Collection, she was reproduced as a 27" replica in 2000.
