Limbo is a theological concept that originated in medieval Christianity, particularly within the Catholic Church. It was traditionally envisioned as a state or place where unbaptized infants and righteous individuals who lived before Christ resided, experiencing natural happiness but lacking the beatific vision of God. The idea was largely influenced by interpretations of Scripture and the writings of theologians like Augustine and Aquinas. However, the Catholic Church has since moved away from the formal teaching of limbo, especially following the 2007 publication by the International Theological Commission suggesting a more hopeful view of unbaptized infants' salvation.
