jack-o'-lantern

Jack-O-Lantern or Jack-of-Lantern (the former is more common, which is the abbreviation of the latter) is a symbol to celebrate Halloween. There are many versions about the origin of the English name "Jack-o-lantern", among which the most popular version comes from an Irish folklore in18th century.

Legend has it that there was a man named Jack (in17th century England, people usually called a man with an unknown name "Jack"). He was very stingy and had the habit of playing practical jokes and drinking. Because he had played pranks on the devil twice, when Jack died, he found that he could neither enter heaven nor hell, and he could only wander between the two forever. Out of pity, the devil gave Jack a little coal, and Jack lit the radish lamp with the little coal the devil gave him.
