The goddess of fruit, no? I don't remember if there is an actual name for her...

Pomona 1) "The custom originated among the Celts as part of their celebrations of the Samhain season, celebrations that grew into modern-day Halloween. The original custom generally took place during large gatherings of people. Apples were associated with love or fertility goddesses; the first person to catch an apple would be the next one to marry, a tradition that is echoed in the modern "throwing of the bouquet" at weddings." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbing_for_apples 2) "When the Romans conquered Britain they brought with them the apple tree. The apple was representative of the goddess Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees. She was known for her great beauty and fertility. Romans, although conquerors, Romans were accepting of other cultures and soon accepted Celtic beliefs and the Samhain festival. The two were blended together and the apple became part of the harvest celebration that would become Halloween. Because Pomona was a fertility goddess and because the Celts believed that the pentagram was a fertility symbol and when an apple is sliced in half the seeds form a pentagram it is natural that they believed the apple could be used to determine marriages during this magical time of year. From this belief comes the game bobbing for apples." Source and further information: http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/bobbing.shtml

Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees. Maybe that's why 'pomme' in French is apple?

This is also where wet t-shirt contests originated from.

Pamona, the Roman goddess of fruit. Ovid says she is the wife of Vertumnus who is also a fertility god. There is a fine sculpture of her at the Uffizi in Florence.
