Christian views on Hades

Lazarus and the Rich Man (illumination from the Codex Aureus of Echternach).

Hades, according to various Christian denominations, is "the place or state of departed spirits",[1] borrowing the name of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. It is often associated with the Jewish concept of Sheol. In Christian theology, Hades is seen as an intermediate state between Heaven and Hell in which the dead enter and will remain until the Last Judgement.
