"the reason Isaiah [in the 8th century BC] and
John [in the 1st century AD] give a similar report is that the
seraphim had been singing the [Sanctus or Trisagion] without interruption over the

John."

Wilken, "With angels and archangels," Pro ecclesia 10, no. 4 (Fall 2001): 462 (460-474). "For St. John says that the heavenly chorus sang 'holy, holy, holy,' unceasingly."
