Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise

Adam and Eve cast out of paradise

For the planet believed to the be intergalactic equivalent of the Garden of Eden, please see Eden.

According to the Bible of the Jewish and Christian religion, the Garden of Eden, or simply Eden, was the habitat created by God for the first Humans, Adam and Eve. They would later be cast from the Garden of Eden after succumbing to temptation of the Devil and disobeying God's law. In common parlance, Eden became a symbolic word for any idyllic location. In short: a symbol of paradise.
