What is a jack-o'-lantern?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jack's lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

Why did people make candy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There were earlier forms of candy made from honey by the Egyptians and others. In the 15th century, when the sugar cane industry developed, so did candy. The first candy-producing machinery was invented in the late 18th century.

The US started making candy in the 19th century. The Salem Gibralter, the first candy ever sold in the United States, was developed in 1806. It was a hard candy with flavors of Lemon or Peppermint.

Candy was made as far back as 3000 BC In fact, the first candy maker was probably a caveman who discovered the pleasant taste of honey from beehives

Why are black cats considered a Halloween symbol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, they are all black, so they blend in with the night, with only their eyes showing. Since their eyes glow, it gives them a mysterious, other-worldly type look. And they are nocturnal, so they have lots of opportunities to show that off.

Note-Some people are freaked out by this and think that black cats are evil/bad luck/ you get the point. Others love the way they look and, even if they don't like the way it looks, learn to look past that and see the black cat's personality. If you put all that aside, you can still make the point that the cats have black pelts for camouflage to blend in with the dark so that they can both hunt and hide, two things necessary for survival. Don't let yourself be prejudiced by a gift from nature, I'm just saying.
Because Halloween is a holiday that revolves around superstition, and black cats are thought of as bad luck in many cultures.
Because people say that black cats are evil and they are bads luck.

Why do you carve jack o lanterns?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jack o lanterns are often carved during Halloween as part of a tradition to ward off evil spirits. The practice originates from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack who made a deal with the devil. Carving pumpkins into jack o lanterns became a way to mimic the tale and to decorate for the holiday.

Should a boy be a cheerleader for Halloween?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He should be prepared to have this haunt him for the rest of his life. In this age of digital connectivity, the digital pictures will NEVER go away. It will destroy any chance of a political career, and will follow you to your jobs, and resurface to screw with your relationships in the future. It would be a lot cooler to go as Octo-Mom.

are you crazy!!!wtf

ANSWER

I would recommend that he goes as a cheerleader. But if you do that youll need makeup, a wig, cheerleading clothes, nail polish, and he'll want to learn to have a high voice (this is not nescessary but it is a good idea). Halloween is the only safe time for crossdressing. A couple of years ago my sis and gf bribed me into going as a cheerleader for our school. I went in pink nail polish, wig in a ponytail, pink lipstick and gloss, pink shadow, liner, and blush high heels, and cheerleading short skirt (note that they held me down and shaved my legs and i hated it). He really needs to decide if he really wants it.

How can you dress up as the undertaker for Halloween?

Asked by Wiki User

Like most Halloween costumes, it will require a little creativity, work, or if you're buying the costume, some money. Dress as you think an undertaker would dress. I don't know any undertaker, so I don't know first-hand how they would dress.

What three unique trick can a harrierplane do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Harrierplane is a unique aircraft that can take off and land vertically which allows it to hover and move in any direction. This gives it a few unique tricks that other aircraft cant do. Here are three tricks that a Harrierplane can do:

  • Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL): The Harrierplane has the ability to hover and take off or land vertically meaning it can take off and land in very small spaces.
  • Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL): The Harrierplane has the capability to takeoff and land in a very short distance making it ideal for operations in areas with limited space.
  • High-Speed Maneuverability: The Harrierplane has the ability to move in any direction allowing it to make very tight turns and other high-speed maneuvers.

These three tricks make the Harrierplane a very unique aircraft and give it capabilities that other aircraft do not have.

Is Halloween celebrated by the Norwegians?

Asked by Wiki User

Although Halloween is by no means such a major event as it is in other places of the world. It is very common for young children no older then let's say 15 to dress up and go trick and treating. Halloween is especially a holiday that children in the age group 5-10 find very enjoyable. Some people also decorate their house, but not nearly as vigorously as they to in f.ex USA.
