After ascending up the mountain we’re entering into the Garden of Eden, where the Pilgrim meets Beatrice and drinks from the two rivers of Lethe and Eunoë. The first river is to remove the memories of sins, and the second is to restore the memories of all the Good in the world and in Life. There are also two big allegorical scenes with the symbolic entering of Scripture, and the History of the Church up to Dante’s time in the thirteen hundreds. After the final moments by the river of Eunoë – the Pilgrim is now fully reborn, ready and eager, to rise into the Stars.

Enjoy!
