"And God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness." (Genesis 1:3–4)

  When God spoke these words, He did not create the sun – that would come only on the fourth day. This was a primordial light, a spiritual light, a cosmic call to order, to truth, to conscience. Thus began Day 1 of the Celestial Calendar: the first thousand years in which humanity steps into history – with pain, but also with hope.

  The Exile from Eden and the Beginning of Human History

  After being driven from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve enter earthly time – a time in which labor, pain, and death become part of life. The Garden, the place of communion, is left behind, guarded by cherubim. Yet the light of conscience – though shadowed – does not disappear.

  "He drove out the man and placed cherubim at the east of the Garden of Eden... to guard the way to the tree of life." (Genesis 3:24)

  Adam lives for hundreds of years and becomes a witness to the beginnings: the birth of children, the formation of the first settlements, the first offerings – and the first murder.

  Cain and Abel – the First Test of the Human Heart

  "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door." (Genesis 4:7)

  Cain and Abel are the sons of fallen man. But it is not their sin that matters most, but their attitude toward God. Abel’s offering is sincere. Cain’s is formal. Envy turns Cain into a murderer. And thus, death enters the world not through illness, but through fratricide.

  "The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground." (Genesis 4:10)

  Humanity begins with a failed moral choice. But God does not leave the scene.

  Seth and the Line of Those Who Seek God

  After Abel’s death, Adam and Eve receive another son: Seth. Through him, a line is born of those who "call upon the Name of the Lord" (Genesis 4:26). It is a line of sacred memory, keeping alive the remembrance of the Garden, of the promise, of the lost communion.

  Meanwhile, the descendants of Cain become pioneers of civilization: they build cities, forge metal, play instruments. But they forget God. Thus, Day 1 splits into two paths: one of those who follow their own will, and one of those who seek the Creator.

  Enoch – the Man Who Walks Among the Stars

  "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him." (Genesis 5:24)

  One of Seth’s descendants is Enoch, who becomes the first bridge between heaven and earth. Scripture tells us he "walked with God." But the Book of Enoch offers a deeper perspective: he was lifted up to heaven, saw angels, divine thrones, the mystery of time, and the final plan.

  "I was told to write down everything that would happen to the sons of men until the end of time." (Enoch 1:2)

  Enoch becomes the cosmic chronicler, the one who sees the beginning and the end. But during his lifetime, something begins to stir...

  The Angels Begin to Descend

  The Watchers – angels sent to oversee the earth – begin to look upon the daughters of men. Desire, pride, and longing for heaven mix together. A dangerous intent is born: descent.

  "Let us choose from among the daughters of men and bear children with them." (Enoch 6:2)

  Thus, Day 1 ends in a world still touched by light, but with growing shadows on the horizon. Humanity is about to be altered. And heaven prepares for a second fall – not of man, but of angels.

  Symbols of the First Day

  ? Light – the beginning of moral conscience and divine calling.

  ? Cain and Abel – the inner battle between jealousy and sincerity.

  ? Seth – the line of sacred memory.

  ? Enoch – witness of heaven and prophet of the end.

  ? The Watchers – the beginning of corruption from heaven to earth.

  Final Reflection: The First Day Is the Gift of Conscience

  Day 1 is not only the beginning of human history. It marks the start of the battle for the human soul. It is the moment when light was given and choice became possible.

  And even though sin entered the world, God did not withdraw. He called. He raised prophets. He left traces. But in Day 2, those traces will be almost erased. For when angels descend and join their seed with the sons of men, creation itself begins to tremble.

  This light will not perish. It will return in another way, in another time – but with the same call: "Let there be light!"
