The ancient legend of the pumpkin lantern
The pumpkin lantern originated from ancient Ireland. It is said that a man named JACK was a drunkard and loved mischief. 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 never to let him live in hell.
After JACK died, he could not enter heaven because he did not believe in God, and the devil would not let him go to hell. In order to help JACK find his way back to the world, the devil gave him a burning coal, and JACK used the burning coal to Placed in a lantern he carved from a large carrot, this first "JACKs lantern" helped Jack find his way back to Ireland, but he never found it, so he wandered the world forever with the lantern.
In the ancient Irish legend, this small candle was placed in a hollowed-out radish, which was called "JACK LANTERNS". The ancient radish lantern evolved to this day and is made of pumpkin Jack- O-Lantern. It is said that not long after the Irish arrived in the United States, they discovered that pumpkins were superior to radishes in terms of origin and carving, so jack-o'-lanterns became the favorite of Halloween.
