Bobbing For Apples?....Sick!

Where did the tradition "Bobbing For Apples" come from?

When the Celts (my peeps) and the Romans started merging their cultures, bobbing for apples became an All Hallows Eve tradition. It was originally to honor the Roman goddess, Pomona- the god of fruit and trees. Her symbol was in fact...the apple. Since the Romans honored her on a day late in October...the cultures combined and they started bobbing for apples on October 31st.
...Plus it is extra fun on Halloween (a day known for death) because what better way is there to spread infection to a whole group of people at once!...I challenge you to find a better way! ~S
