Beskrivelse

Once every 100 years the Order of the Seraphim gather for the high mass known simply as the Adoration. The Adoration marks the passage of a dying cherubim and the reincarnation as Seraphim. The Seraphim, ranking highest among the angels in power and sheer magnificence is merely mentioned once in the Scripture, yet the description gives a glimpse of the sheer beauty and power of the seraphim as they circle god itself in its throne:

Above him (God) were Seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory."
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

Isaiah 6:2-4

One participant will play the Cherubim/Seraphim, while remaining players will fill the role as high-ministers and worshippers.
