Limbo does appear in [[Dante]]'s [[Divine Comedy]], where it is home to two main groups: [[virtue|virtuous]] people who were not Christian, and babies who died before they could be [[baptism|baptised]]. Technically it is the first circle of Hell, although no punishment is carried out: those there suffer only a lack of [[hope]], as they must spend all eternity knowing that they can never progress to Heaven. | Limbo does appear in [[Dante]]'s [[Divine Comedy]], where it is home to two main groups: [[virtue|virtuous]] people who were not Christian, and babies who died before they could be [[baptism|baptised]].
