Religion, Apples, and Teachers

In our last post we discussed why students gave teachers apples as gift; for economic reasons.  But another school of thought points to religion.

It is thought that when Adam and Eve were in the garden and Eve at the forbidden fruit; that the fruit in question was in fact an apple.  And because she ate the apple, she then obtained knowledge¹. Thus, it’s been told that the apple is a symbol of knowledge; from which, students give teachers apples as a token of their appreciation for the knowledge they received from their instruction.  Though this sounds reasonable; it is untrue. 

In the sense that the Bible makes no mention of what type of fruit Eve actually ate.  The Bible only mentions ‘fruit’. Readers have often associated an apple to the text simply because an apple was the most common fruit at the time.  And to be very technical – both Adam and Eve partook of the fruit. 

One has to imagine what type of knowledge students are actually thanking their teachers for when the Bible specifically states that God forbade Adam from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; so that’s one tradition that we definitely don’t want your little ones partaking of.

But the idea of giving a teacher an apple is still a simple and humble tradition that has the right motive behind it.  The fact that your child would want to give their teacher anything is something they should be commended for.  So why not let them give their teacher a gourmet caramel apple in appreciation for their hard work and put the knowledge school of thought to the side?

In fact, what about one of our Large Apple Baskets?  It comes with a Rocky Road, Double Chocolate Pecan, and Toffee gourmet caramel apples, shortbread cookies, gourmet crackers, cheese spread, mixed nuts, chocolate covered pretzels, and toffee peanuts. This basket is sure to say more than thank you but you are absolutely appreciated.  Ready to purchase a Large Apple Basket for your child’s teacher?  Visit richlandgourmetapples.com!
