Addendum. The mountain of Purgatory.

Description

    Lucifer's fall into the world, as a consequence of his pride and rebelliousness, is what gave rise to the pit of hell, descending to the center of the world. On the opposite side, the same land, fleeing from Lucifer's corruption, ends up forming the mountain of Purgatory. The souls that make it to the base of this mountain are already partially saved. The gates of heaven will be opened at the top, after the atonement on the terraces or slopes of the mountain. Each of these terraces represents the deadly sins of the Christian conception. In this part of the journey, the paths of Dante and Virgil diverge, with the Latin poet Statius becoming Dante's new companion.
