Author's project.

Composition depicting the various angelic ranks and celestial powers, located in the form of an equilateral cross. In the center, which unites the four directions of the world, is the image of Jesus Christ Almighty, with a book in one hand / symbol of the Word of God / and blessing all with the other. He is surrounded by Cherubim and Seraphim. These are the disembodied angelic powers of heaven, which are closest to God and surround His throne.
The cross consists of 5 separate elements / planes, levels /, which arranged in this way, form the fifth element - Equilateral Cross, the most ancient Sun symbol, which encodes the fundamental Universal Laws.
