∙ 14y agoJack-o-lanterns are made from carved pumpkins. This tradtion originally began in Europe, particularly Ireland, where they carved other root vegetbales, like turnips. In America, the tradition switched over to pumpkins because they were larger and easier to carve and more native to growing in the United States.

∙ 14y agoJack-o-lanterns originated from the Celts and the Irish, Welsh, and Briton. The Celts thought they were like heads and heads held the spirit and wisdom of the body. They were used to ward of ghosts. The Irish, Welsh, and Briton would go and collect these "heads" and nail them to their doors. They also put candles in them to remember Stingy Jack a miserly man who tricked the devil and was condemned to walk the earth with his turnip lamp. When the Irish came here we switched to pumpkins which were more plentiful then turnips.
