One very popular Halloween decoration is made using a knife... a pumpkin... and a candle...
to create a... Jack-o-lantern
Jack-o-lantern is short for “Jack of the Lantern” It comes from an Irish myth about a man named “Stingy Jack.” Stingy Jack was a drunkard, a liar, and someone who could never be trusted.
When Jack died, he couldn’t go to Heaven and the Devil told him he wasn’t welcome in Hell. The Devil gave Jack a burning ember...
and Jack placed it inside a carved-out turnip to create a lantern.
Today, Jack’s ghost continues to roam the earth, carrying this lantern to guide his way.
The custom of making Jack-o-Lanterns grew out of this Irish legend of Stingy Jack. Irish immigrants brought the custom to America but discovered that pumpkins made better lanterns than... turnips beets potatoes
