Bobbing for apples has roots in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Samhain celebration, which marked the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter. Apples were a symbol of fertility and abundance, and the game was believed to predict future marriages; participants would try to bite into apples floating in water, with success indicating a potential romantic partner. This tradition has evolved over time, particularly in Halloween celebrations, but its origins are deeply tied to Celtic culture and seasonal rituals.
