Purgatory is a place or state of purification believed in Catholic and some other Christian traditions where souls are cleansed of sin after death before entering heaven. It matters to believers because it represents an opportunity for spiritual purification and the possibility of divine mercy for those who die imperfectly prepared, and the image shows how souls are supported by Christ, Mary, and saints during this process.
