Jack O’ Lanterns
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007A Jack O’ Lantern is usually a carved pumpkin or turnip used as a decoration during Halloween.
An old Irish legend tells of Jack, who was so wicked that he couldn’t enter heaven and hell after he died. He carved a turnip (his favorite food) and used it as a container for an ember that never goes out, as a makeshift lantern, and proceeded with his eternal quest for a resting place.
