"Under the Protection of the Gods: Exploring Divine Realms and Spiritual Encounters" Embark on a journey through realms beyond our mortal existence, guided by the divine hints scattered throughout history. Just as Dante Alighieri ventured into Purgatory, let us delve into the depths of his Map of Purgatory, where souls seek redemption amidst ethereal landscapes. In this mystical realm, Dante encounters his beloved Beatrice, a celestial being who illuminates his path with love and wisdom. Witness their reunion as they transcend earthly boundaries in an awe-inspiring vision of angels descending from heavenly abodes. Drawing inspiration from August Hermann Francke's profound spiritual insights, we are reminded that divinity manifests in various forms. Behold the exquisite Bust of goddess Tanit, a testament to Carthaginian artistry capturing her divine essence. Echoing ancient tales is King Nebuchadnezzar and the Fiery Furnace - a tale of unwavering faith rewarded by divine intervention. Marvel at The Trundholm sun chariot from Early Bronze Age; its intricate design symbolizing cosmic forces intertwined with human destiny. Yet it is not only ancient lore that captivates our imagination; even modern interpretations hold enchantment. Picture Dante & Virgil on Ice - an extraordinary performance blending artistic prowess and mythical storytelling to transport audiences across time and space. As we traverse further into Dante's epic journey alongside Charon across Styx's treacherous waters, we encounter glimpses of paradise. Envisioned by Gustave Dore's wood engraving lies DANTE: PARADISE - where heavenly choirs harmonize in eternal bliss under radiant skies. And finally, find solace within Hagia Sophia's mosaic depicting Jesus blessing and holding the Bible - an enduring symbol of faith transcending borders and uniting humanity under His divine grace.
