From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave.
The cherubim carved on these walls, each wearing a man's face on one side and a lion's face on the other, show us the character angels bear in their warfare against darkness: the wisdom of man joined with the courage of a lion, both fixed toward the palm of victory. These ornaments teach us that in the assemblies of God's people, the holy angels are present and active.
