Hello to JackJack-o'-lanterns started showing up in Ireland during the 1700s. Only in Ireland, people hollowed out turnips for their "lanterns" instead of pumpkins. When Irish immigrants came to America they brought the jack-o'-lantern tradition with them, but found pumpkins more readily available. The character of jack-o'-lantern comes from British folklore. It's the story of a fellow (named Jack) whose spirit wasn't allowed to enter heaven or hell and ended up wandering the night with a turnip lantern lighting his way—becoming Jack of the lantern—frightening away evil spirits. The first time jack-o'-lantern appeared in print was in 1750, referring to a night watchman. |
