 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Garden of Eden
In the development of Jewish eschatology which marks the post-Exilic epoch the word paradise or "Garden of God", hitherto mainly associated with the original dwelling-place of our first parents, was transferred to signify the future abode of rest and enjoyment which was to be the reward of the righteous after death.
According to this description the entrance to paradise is made through two gates of rubies beside which stand sixty myriads of holy angels with countenances radiant with heavenly splendor.
According to the prevailing interpretation of Catholic theologians and commentators, paradise in this instance is used as a synonym for the heaven of the blessed to which the thief would accompany the Saviour, together with the souls of the righteous of the Old Law who were awaiting the coming of the Redeemer.

 EPIDAURUS Earthly Paradise reviews
"Earthly Paradise" is definitely well rooted in the 70's progressive style of YES, PINK FLOYD and fellow German rockers, ELOY.
The band actually had to go through a weird, long recording process for their debut album “Earthly Paradise”, which actually was their sole prog offering during their 70s period.
The very bright moments that “Earthly Paradise” contains cannot hide the fact that this album is somewhat inconsistent, so I am inclined to think that labeling it as a master opus or even excellent would be an overstatement: I would label it as good, but also essential to a certain degree.

 Replenish the Earth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
The paradise of delights, which was Eden, has been turned to wilderness: man is in exile from his patria, condemned to journey as an alien through desert places, when man and nature are at enmity, and indeed, the whole of nature is distorted.
Or, to choose another illustration: in the twelfth-century mosaic which adorns the apse of the Church of San Clemente, in Rome, one sees the Cross represented as the Tree of life, in a renewed Garden of Eden, wherein are represented a myriad of plants and animals in marvellous harmony, together with scenes of human occupations.
The whole of the Divine Comedy is the allegorical account of man's journey through wilderness to paradise; and on the summit of Mount Purgatory, the pilgrim, with Virgil's guidance, reaches the terrestrial paradise, which is at once the Golden Age of Virgil and the Eden of the Bible.
