The term 'empyrean' refers to the highest part of the heavens, believed to be the realm of pure fire or light. In classical and medieval cosmology, it is considered the abode of God and the angels. The word has its roots in Greek mythology where it was used to describe the uppermost heaven, the realm of the gods, and the pure elemental fire that was thought to compose the stars. Over time, 'empyrean' has also come to symbolize a state of sublime happiness and divine peace.
