The Holy Angels The nine orders of the
angels are divided into three
hierarchies, each of which is divided into three
orders: the highest, the intermediate, the lower:
The first hierarch, the
highest and closest to the Most Holy
Trinity, consists of the SERAPHIM,
CHERUBIM, and THRONES.
Th middle hierarchy also
consists of three orders of holy angels:
the DOMINIONS, the VIRTUES, and the
POWERS.
In the lowest hierarchy
there are also three orders: the
PRINCIPALITIES, the ARCHANGELS, and the
ANGELS.
In
honor of St. Dionysius the Aeropagite
who wrote down what his teacher the Holy Apostle
Paul told him of what he learned during his
vision of the third heaven (2Cor 12:2). http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/reading/angels.html
