Cherubs actually have a long history in western culture, and usually, we think of them as a symbol associated with Christianity, and are often present in all western religions. If you read the bible, you will often notice that there are mentions of cherubs and angels all throughout the Old Testament.

The myths about these babies are that there were human like creatures that have wings that would often come as a messenger and guide to people. Torah, a Hebrew text, had also mentioned about the cherubim a few times in the Old Testament. And this means that they predate Christianity.
