The apple is the symbolic fruit that represents knowledge in Christianity. This association largely stems from the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis, where they are tempted to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. While the story does not specify the fruit as an apple, later interpretations and artistic representations adopted the apple as a symbol of temptation, knowledge, and the human condition. The apple’s symbolism highlights the complexities of knowledge—its potential for both enlightenment and consequence in human experiences.
