vivienDay 9! This one goes along with the festival of Pomona.
From here, but I read this almost word for word in a book called Halloween: An American Holiday, An American History by Lesley Bannatyne:
"Hallowe'en was also sometimes called Snap Apple Night, in England. A game called snap apple was played where apples were suspended on a long piece of string. Contestants had to try an bite the apple without using their hands. A variation of the game was to fix an apple and a lighted candle at opposite ends of a stick suspended horizontally and to swing the stick round. The object was to catch the apple between the teeth whilst avoiding the candle."
WHEE!
