**Symbols:** Cross-- Where Jesus Christ died. Dove-- Holy Ghost. Rainbow-- God will never flood the earth again. Elephant-- Represents Adam and Eve. Some Christian's believe that sin entered the world when Adam ate from the one tree in the garden that God said not to eat from. The reason that Adam ate off the tree was because there was a snake on the other tree and that snake which was the devil said it was ok for Adam to eat of it. After Adam ate off the tree, Eve thought it would be alright to eat off the tree as well. When God came back to the garden Adam and Eve thought that they should hide from God. When God came into the garden he knew that they had eaten from the one tree that God said not to eat form. They hid behind olive leafs thinking that God wouldn't see them. When God called out to them, they didn't answer. They finally came out and God asked them what they did, they didn't know what to say. God knew they had done wrong so he lit fire and told them to go into the fire. First, Adam went and then Eve went. That snake that told them it was ok to eat off the tree was Satan.
