One of the nicest Halloween activities for families is carving jack-o'-lanterns from pumpkins. It's perfect spooky fun for youngsters and oldies alike. The tradition of making jack-o'-lanterns came, like many good things, from Ireland. The ancient Celts would carve scary faces from turnips and light them during the festival of Samhain (31st October- 1st November). Samhain was a time of the year when the Celts believed that spirits could enter the world of the living, and the jack-o'-lanterns may have been used to scare them away from entering people's homes.
But, why are they called “jack”-o'-lanterns? How about “larry”-o'-lanterms instead? Well, the name comes from an old Irish tale about a rascal called -no surprises here- Jack. Apparently, Jack tricked the devil, but ended up wandering the planet for all eternity with a turnip lantern lighting his way. Immigrants from Ireland took the tradition to America where the humble turnip was replaced with the bigger, easier to carve and oranger pumpkin.
Enjoy making jack-o'-lanterns this Halloween!
