A Jack O Lantern is a symbol commonly associated with Halloween, usually carved out of a pumpkin or other large fruit or vegetable to create a lantern-like effect. It’s typically made by scooping out the insides of a pumpkin, carving a pattern or design into the outer shell, and then placing a light source inside to illuminate the carving.
The Origins of Jack O Lanterns
The origin of the Jack O Lantern dates back to Ireland and Scotland in the 17th century. At that time, people would carve scary faces into turnips or potatoes and place them in their windows to ward off evil spirits on All Hallows’ Eve.
The tradition was brought over to the United States by Irish immigrants in the 19th century, where it evolved into the pumpkin Jack O Lantern that we know today. Pumpkins were used because they were more readily available in the U.S. than turnips or potatoes, and they were also easier to carve.
