Brief Bio

Apple cider became associated with Halloween through ancient Celtic Samhain traditions, where apples symbolized the harvest and were used in divination and offerings, as well as later Roman influences and the seasonality of the fruit. Apples and apple cider were important in celebrations marking the end of the harvest, a time when the veil between the living and the dead was believed to be thin, making apples a symbol of the underworld.
