Fall

Leaf-changing time

The Fall, in Christian theology, refers to humanity's loss of innocence when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate forbidden fruit: the doctrine of the Fall, before the Fall.

The capitalized form signals this specific biblical event rather than any generic decline or tumble. (Lowercase fall covers all other meanings.)
