The Pearly Gates -- when not used as a SexualEuphemism -- is common shorthand to describe the outer walls that separate {{Heaven}} from the rest of the cosmos. Despite the trope name, the gates are more often golden than pearl-colored. There is usually a [[CelestialBureaucracy book-keeper]] at the door, typically either St. Peter or a similar Heavenly bouncer, who decides who gets in, typically by reading their deeds from a large book and judging whether they've been good enough to deserve entrance into Heaven. The gates will open for those who earned their place, while everyone else will find themselves standing on a TrapDoor leading to [[{{Hell}} the less than ideal alternative]].
