It symbolizes virginity. I think the armenian tradition is that when a girl gets married, if she's a virgin the next day after the wedding night the husband's family sends a red apple to the girl's parents to tell them they're pleased that the girl is a virgin? Ok now I'm confused lol

This tradition died somewhere in 18th century along with disappearance of the Noble Knights. tongue.gif

Seriously though, this tradition was popular not only among Armenians, but also Greeks, Macedonians, Italians, etc.. with some variants. For example in Macedonia on the next day the newly wed should show the "blood stains" over the sheet.
