PubXtv: The Diabolical Entrance To Hell You Were Never Told About

The concept of the “Hellmouth”, once considered to be the ‘Jaws of Hell’, is a striking and terrifying image from mediaeval Christian art and theology, representing the entrance to Hell. It is typically depicted as a monstrous, gaping mouth, often belonging to that of a dragon or a beast, through which the damned are consumed. This powerful image resonated deeply with mediaeval audiences, both as a visual reminder of the horrors of eternal damnation and as a moral warning about the consequences of sin. The Hellmouth, rooted in early Christian ideas and shaped by mediaeval iconography, serves as a dramatic embodiment of the fate awaiting the unrighteous after death.
