Christian at the Wicket-Gate

Wicket-Gate

"The Wicket-gate constitutes one of the main features of the great Dreamer's Allegory. It is an end, and it is a beginning. It concludes the Pilgrim's search for the better path, and inaugurates his entrance upon the King's highway—the way of holiness. It closes upon the weary wilderness of doubt and ignorance in which he wandered, wept, and trembled, and opens upon the road that conducts all faithful pilgrims to the Celestial City."[1]
