“I have been in the Heaven that takes up most of his light, and saw things there that those who descend from that height cannot speak of or forget…”

Led by his guide Beatrice, Dante leaves the Earth behind and soars through the heavenly spheres of Paradise. In this third and final part of The Divine Comedy, he encounters the just rulers and holy saints of the Church.

The horrors of Inferno and the trials of Purgatory are left far behind. Ultimately, in Paradise, Dante is granted a vision of God’s Heavenly court – the angels, the Blessed Virgin and God Himself.

Music: Hildegard von Bingen, Machaut, Gregorian Chant.
