The rainbow has always fascinated mankind. It has been considered as a path, a bridge between two distant points on Earth, or between the Earth and another world. Depending on the cultures, this bridge is crossed by gods, shamans, wizards, or legendary heroes. In the Bible, the rainbow represents the alliance between God and men, between God and the Earth. It relates that the rainbow gained meaning as the sign of God's promise that terrestrial life would never again be destroyed by flood. In Greek mythology, the rainbow was considered to be a path made by the messenger Iris between Earth and Heaven. Indeed, the Spanish translation of rainbow is “Arco Iris”. In Asia, it evokes the illumination of Buddha, who comes back from the sky by this staircase of seven colors and in Islam, these seven colors represent the image of the divine qualities of the universe. | The rainbow has always fascinated mankind.

Depending on the cultures, this bridge is crossed by gods, shamans, wizards, or legendary heroes. In the Bible, the rainbow represents the alliance between God and men, between God and the Earth. It relates that the rainbow gained meaning as the sign of God's promise that terrestrial life would never again be destroyed by flood. In Greek mythology, the rainbow was considered to be a path made by the messenger Iris between Earth and Heaven. Indeed, the Spanish translation of rainbow is “Arco Iris”. In Asia, it evokes the illumination of Buddha, who comes back from the sky by this staircase of seven colors and in Islam, these seven colors represent the image of the divine qualities of the universe.
