golden streets
Celestial city's roads
Golden streets refers to the streets of heaven, imagined as paved with gold in Christian tradition.
The phrase evokes paradise or ultimate reward: He preached about walking the golden streets.
More broadly, it suggests any place of legendary wealth or opportunity—the golden streets that drew immigrants to America, or that prospectors imagined in California.
