Tree of Knowledge of which Eve and Adam ate the fruit of and the Tree…

OUR reporter discovers some true and surprising stories behind our Christmas customs. We as a whole have our most loved happy past-times – hymns by candlelight, opening presents around the tree and lights hanging by the mantelpiece. Be that as it may, have you ever considered welcoming your neighbors over for a bubble battle on the road? That last one won't have gotten on here, but rather it isn't as unrealistic as it sounds. As indicated by Christmas recorder Mark Forsyth, it's precisely…

Introduction Since the day Adam and Eve set foot on earth, they recognized their nakedness and started to cover their privet parts with leaves and plants. So it is the human nature to cover their bodies as an act of decency and modesty in the interaction between the opposite genders. Both male and females need to cover their bodies, however the required extend of covering differs for each group. The type of covering for women is known as “Hijab”. In today’s world the name “Hijab” has been quite…

children’s interaction with Boo Radley. It’s important to note that Harper Lee’s line of events involving the children and Boo mimics the story of Adam and Eve. A detail that supports this idea is Scout’s tom-boy appearance, as it makes her more Adam-like. Also, her unflinching ability to follow Jem parallels the way Adam caves into temptation after Eve does. Other details that hint at a biblical allusion are the use of chinaberries on the night the children go to the Radley place (page 57);…

a monotheistic priestly source like that of Genesis or from a polytheistic source like Hesiod’s Theogony. Many similarities can be drawn between different myths all pointing or leading to the same conclusion. For instance, in the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis and of Prometheus in the Theogony. Both stories feature a significantly clever and tricky character who act as a challenge or agent of change for a direct or indirect character within the story, ending with the clever character being…

the advent of Judeo-Christian dogma, Milton 's description could also be referenced as the fate of way things are to be. In Milton 's epic poem there are two narrative story arcs. One about Lucifer and the other following Adam and Eve. In the poem God had given Adam and Eve total freedom and power to rule over all creation with one explicit command: not to eat from The Tree of Knowledge on penalty of death. In other words, The Tree of Knowledge was tabu! Here we see the similarities in Milton 's…

A hero is someone who meets a need, has an impact on others or rescues someone whose life is in jeopardy. A hero is selfless and kind and good. In many works of fiction or fantasy there is a hero to save the day, there is someone that helps others achieve their goal or be in peace. But there is not always a need for a hero. Lilith: A romance by George Macdonald, does not require a hero. This is proven by the fact that every character was their own enemy and savior, the presence of a hero would…

This is the one night each year I will NEVER tell my mom I am too old for her to read me a story; that night is Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is my absolute favorite night of the year! Not only do we attend Christmas Eve mass, we also celebrate with a longstanding family tradition of paella (spanish seafood and rice dish) for dinner and my mother reads “The Night Before Christmas”. My sister and I get into our PJ’s, leave…

Original sin comes from the first sin, which was the punishment for disobedience, when Adam and Eve were put into temptation and ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Sin is believed to bring us further apart from God. Original sin is a part of the human condition and the human tendency towards evil. For Augustine…

of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die. '" (Genesis 3:3, http://biblehub.com/genesis/3-3.htm). This excerpt is taken from the creation story of Adam and Eve. It is true that Adam and Eve were tempted by the serpent and then excommunicated from the Garden of Eden. They were ultimately forced to live in the mortal world and endure all of the pains and brutalities it posses. This creation story parallels with the Myth…
