Halloween - the origin of the jack-o'-lantern

The jack-o'-lantern originated in ancient Ireland. Legend has it that a man named Jack was a drunkard and loved to play pranks. On Halloween, he set a trap and trapped the devil in a tree. He did not allow the devil to come down until the devil promised to never let him live in hell. After Jack died, because he didn't believe in God, he couldn't go to heaven, and the devil wouldn't let him go to hell.

In order to help Jack find his way back to the world, the devil gave him a piece of burning coal. Jack placed the burning coal in a lantern he carved from a large carrot. This was the first "Jack" "Lantern" to help him find his way back to Ireland, but he never found it, so he always wandered the world with the lantern.

In ancient Irish legends, this small candle was placed in a hollowed-out radish, called "Jack Lanterns". The ancient radish lanterns evolved to this day and are made of pumpkins. The Jack-O-Lantern. It is said that soon after the Irish arrived in the United States, they discovered that pumpkins were superior to radishes in terms of origin and carving, so pumpkins became the favorite of Halloween.
