Pumpkin carving began as carving turnips in Ireland. When the Irish came to the American colonies they didn't find turnips to carve, but found pumpkins instead. They carved the turnips/pumpkins because of a story About a Boy who was very bad and was made to wonder the world by the devil with a turnip lantern that held a lump of coal. He was called Jack of the Lantern ( Jack O'Lantern).
