In the middle ages people could not read or write, so they would look at pictures instead to understand the story of The Bible.

Since this was the only religeon, people had to stick with it or they would be threatened by the pope, the leader of the church, that they had to follow it.

The pictures of Hell were so frightning that the people did not dare to commit a sin.

Where did the common images of heaven and hell come from?

The common images of heaven , such as pearly gates and a golden city come from scriptures in the Bible which detail these mythological places. For instance, the book of Revelations gives a vivid description of what heaven is presumed to look like. The Bible also refers to a lake of fire several times. This "lake of fire" is said to originate with the Greek concept of Hades. Additionally, Dante's Divine Comedy has a descriptive account of the abyss of eternal punishment.
