In the primordial tapestry of human history, woven within the very fabric of creation, lies a tale of bitter strife. It is the story of Abel and Cain, two sons of Adam and Eve, whose fates were forever linked. While Cain, the elder, cultivated the land with apathetic adherence to his father's command, Abel, the younger, bestowed his heart and soul to the divine through a pure offering of lambs. This crimson act of piety, a testament to Abel's belief, would ultimately become the catalyst for an unspeakable sin. Cain, consumed by envy and jealousy, could not bear the weight of his brother's righteousness.
- Consumed by nefarious thoughts, he chose a path of violence that would forever stain the annals of history.
Consequently, Abel's crimson offering became a symbol, a poignant reminder of the ever-present temptation that lurks within the human heart.
