The term 'THE DAY BEFORE THE BIG DAY' can be summarized as 'EVE', which is a three-letter word. EVE is a reference to the biblical figure who was the first woman created by God and the wife of Adam. In the Bible, EVE is said to have been tempted by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, thus leading to the Fall of Man. In modern culture, EVE is often used to refer to the day before a major event or celebration, such as Christmas EVE or New Year's EVE.
