The shape and decorative scheme of these liturgical fans has existed since at least the 8th century A.D. These fans were likely crafted as souvenirs for pilgrims returning from Jerusalem, or for them to bring to Jerusalem as homage to the church. Seraphim are the highest-ranking angels in the traditional hierarchy, and as such are closest to God.
