Judgement Tarot Card Symbolism

The angel Gabriel blows a great trumpet from a sky of clouds, summoning the dead to rise from their coffins. Men, women, and children of all ages rise with arms outstretched, their gray forms suggesting they have transcended the limitations of individual identity. The mountains in the background represent the immovable truths that Judgement reveals.
