It will be the principal façade and will offer access to the central [[nave]]. Dedicated to the Celestial Glory of Jesus, it represents the road to God: Death, Final Judgment, and Glory, while [[Hell]] is left for those who deviate from God's will. Aware that he would not live long enough to see this façade completed, Gaudí made a model which was demolished in 1936, whose original fragments were used as the basis for the development of the design for the façade. The completion of this façade may require the partial demolition of the block with buildings across the Carrer de Mallorca.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.barcelonas.com/future-of-la-sagrada-familia.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430212220/http://www.barcelonas.com/future-of-la-sagrada-familia.html|url-status=usurped |archive-date=30 April 2016 |title=The Future of La Sagrada Família – Urban Plans With 2026 In Mind |website=Barcelonas |date=21 April 2021}}</ref> The decision was expected to be proposed in May 2023.{{update inline|date=May 2023}}<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/02/07/sagrada-familia-construction-plans-put-15-000-local-residents-at-risk-of-eviction |title=Sagrada Familia plans put 3,000 families at risk of eviction |date=7 February 2022 |first=Theo |last=Farrant |agency=[[Associated Press]] |website=[[Euronews]]}}</ref> To reach the Glory Portico, the large staircase will lead over the underground passage built over Carrer de Mallorca with the decoration representing Hell and vice.

The portico will have seven large columns dedicated to [[gifts of the Holy Spirit]]. At the base of the columns there will be representations of the [[seven deadly sins]], and at the top, the [[seven heavenly virtues]].{{citation needed|date=August 2023}} * '''Gifts''': wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord. * '''Sins''': greed, lust, pride, gluttony, sloth, wrath, envy. * '''Virtues''': kindness, diligence, patience, charity, temperance, humility, chastity. [[File:Puerta Gloria.jpg|thumb|right|Eucharist Door of the Glory Façade showing, at bottom, the "A...G" for Antoni Gaudí]] This façade will have five doors corresponding to the five naves of the temple, with the central one having a triple entrance, that will give the Glory Façade a total seven doors representing the [[Sacraments of the Catholic Church|sacraments]]: * [[Baptism]] * [[Confirmation]] * [[Eucharist]] * [[Penance]] * [[Holy orders]] * [[Catholic marriage|Marriage]] * [[Anointing of the sick]]{{citation needed|date=August 2023}} In September 2008, the doors of the Glory façade, by Subirachs, were installed. These central doors bear the text of the [[Our Father]] prayer in Catalan in high relief, accompanied with the words "Our Father" and "Give us this day our daily bread" inscribed in fifty different languages. The handles of the door are the letters "A" and "G," forming the initials of Antoni Gaudí, within the phrase {{lang|ca|no permeteu que c'''a'''i'''g'''uem en la temptació}} ("lead us not into temptation").{{citation needed|date=August 2023}}
