Garden of Eden

The Garden of Eden, in biblical tradition, is described as an idyllic paradise where the first humans, Adam and Eve, lived in perfect harmony with nature. It symbolizes an original state of innocence, abundance, and unhindered communion with the divine. According to the story, their disobedience by eating the forbidden fruit led to their expulsion, marking the loss of innocence and introduction of suffering into human experience. Conceptually, it represents an idealized beginning and the human longing for a pure, unspoiled existence.
