Apple

The apple fruit is associated with love, fertility, ecstasy, and abundance in Greek and Roman mythology. The apple had a significant role in ancient Greek courting and marital customs. Dionysus, the god of wine, gave Aphrodite apples to lure her love in Greek mythology. In Celtic custom, apple-bobbing was done in order to find one’s mate. Instead of rice, old customs called for the newlyweds to be thrown apples.
