The thrones (lat. thronus, pl. throni) are a class of celestial beings mentioned by Paul the Apostle in Colossians 1:16 (New Testament) and related to the Throne of God. They are living symbols of God's justice and authority. According to the New Testament, these high celestial beings are among those Orders at the Christ's service. The Thrones are mentioned again in Revelation 11:16. Based on the vision of prophet Ezekiel they are portrayed as many-eyed blazing wheels.
