Apples were always symbolic, not only in Christianity and other Abrahamic religions. For Norse people, golden apples granted eternal life and youth. There was even a goddess whose main task was to protect these apples from falling into the wrong hands, and her name was Idunn. #NorseMythology #NordicRunes #Vikings #NorseCulture #AncientReligion #NorseLegends #VikingLore #NordicTraditions #GodsOfTheNorth #VikingSagas #MythicalBeings #NorsePantheon #VikingWarriors #Idunn #GoldenApples #Eden
