Is there a difference? There is plenty of controversy here as well as in their origin and meaning. Angels are spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence, gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness. They enjoy an intimate relationship to God as His special adopted children, contemplating, loving, and praising Him in heaven. Some of them are frequently sent as messengers to men from on high. Cherubs are an order of angels, typically depicted in the Bible as winged creatures combining human and animal features. Whichever you choose, these creatures symbolize a sense of protection, wisdom, & messengers of god. For a variety of angelic figurines and other decor items, visit Garden Decor Galore
