Allen Apple Day

 

In Cornwall England, Allen Apple Day was reserved for telling fortunes and divining one’s true love. The unmarried men and women of Cornwall would pick an Allen apple. The apple would then be placed under the individual’s pillow upon retiring for the night. Before dawn, the apple was retrieved and eaten. The individual would then go outside and stand beneath a tree. It was believed that the first person to pass him or her by would be his or her future spouse.
