Adam and Eve Day of the Dead Earrings
These lovely earrings are handcrafted and imported from Mexico. An asymmetrical pairing, they depict Adam and Eve after they have eaten fruit from the tree of knowledge and discover they are naked. Distraught and ashamed they try to hide behind fig leaves; the bright green foliage seems to work out as better coverage for Adam. Eve seems to peek over to see what she’s doing wrong with her outfit.
This reminder of original sin and other stories from the bible are popular decorations for Day of the Dead.
The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos, Día de los Difuntos or Día de Muertos in Spanish) is a traditional holiday in Mexico and many South American countries. Based on a syncretization of ancient pre-Hispanic and Christian beliefs, this celebration of the memory of deceased ancestors is celebrated from dusk on October 31st through November 1 (All Saints Day) and November 2 (All Souls' Day).
