Does a Cherubim Have Wings?

In the Book of Ezekiel and (at least some) Christian icons, the cherub is depicted as having two pairs of wings, and four faces: that of a lion (representative of all wild animals), an ox (domestic animals), a human (humanity), and an eagle (birds).

What do cherubim wear?

They wear white garments as a form of uniform, and they believe that garments such as these should be the dress of the faithful, because they were what Christ wore during his suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Are Seraphim and Cherubim the same?

Seraphim appear in the 2nd-century BC Book of Enoch, where they are mentioned, in conjunction with cherubim, as the heavenly creatures standing nearest to the throne of God. In non-biblical sources they are sometimes called the Akyəst (Ge'ez: አክይስት "serpents", "dragons"; an alternate term for Hell).
