In Ireland People used to carve turnips because they didn't have pumpkins. They belived there was a man named Jack who couldn't enter heaven and had to stay on earth forever. The turnips were lit to give him light on his journey.When the Irish came to the US during the famine,they found that it was easer to carve pumpkins. So they continued the tradition but with Pumpkins instead of Turnips.
