Description: This emblem depicts the serpent holding the forbidden fruit in its mouth near a tree in the center of the Garden of Eden. Written across the title banner is the Latin phrase INIMICITIAS PONAM which translates to "enmity," referring to the text of Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This emblem is one in a series of 46 published by Cardinal Celestino Sfondrati confirming the Immaculate Conception in nature.
