What holiday is Halloween? Why is it related to pumpkins?

Halloween is a magical festival, and jack-o'-lantern is a very distinctive representative, but how did jack-o'-lantern come from? There is a story about an Irishman named Jack. Because he was very stingy with money, he was not allowed to enter heaven and was sent to hell. But he was naughty there and always played tricks on Satan, so he was kicked out of hell and punished for walking around the world with lanterns forever.

1October 3 1 day, Irish children made Jack's Lantern with potatoes and Rob. They dug out the middle, dug holes in the surface, and then lit candles inside. To celebrate Halloween in the village, children carry lanterns and beg for food from door to door. The Irish name of this lantern is "Jack with a lantern" or "Jack's lantern", which is abbreviated as Jack-oSINGLE_QUOTATION-lantern, and now it is spelled jack-o-lantern.

All kinds of orange jack-o-lanterns are made by the clever hands of children. Of course, you can also make terrible shapes out of black paper-witches riding on broomsticks and wearing pointed hats flying across the sky, or black bats flying over the moon. These all represent bad luck. Of course, a black cat means worse luck. Sometimes a black cat rides behind a witch's broom and flies into the sky.
