In different spiritual cultures Transition between Earth and Sky is represented as an access of different words within the arrival of the Door in the Sky. That passage in Islamic symbolism it is represented usually on top of sacral constructions as a steeple, made by geometric modules on vertical axis in order to idealize the voyage from earth to atmosphere, to the sky and finally to the overmoon word. In religious Indian thoughts it is represented in the base of the temple altar in order to show the visual landscape from Agni (God of Fire), to Vayu (God of Air) within the aim to reach Abitya (Heaven). In Cristian faith it is the figure of the Vergin Maria, Regina Coeli.
