Abraham's bosom
From BibleWiki
(Lk 16:22) refers to the custom of reclining on couches at table, which was prevalent among the Jews, an arrangement which brought the head of one person almost into the bosom of the one who sat or reclined above him. To "be in Abraham's bosom" thus meant to enjoy happiness and rest (Mt 8:11; Lk 16:23) at the banquet in Paradise.
