Historical origin of pumpkin lantern

The story of pumpkin carving lanterns

Originated in ancient Ireland. This story is about a boy named Jack, who likes playing practical jokes. One day after Jack's death, he went to hell because he did something bad and couldn't go to heaven. However, in hell, he stuck to his guns and tricked the devil into a tree. Then he carved a cross on the stump and threatened the devil not to come down. Then Jack made a pact with the devil to make the devil promise to cast a spell and let Jack get down from the tree on condition that he would never commit a crime. The Cerberus was very angry when he learned about it and drove Jack out. He had to wander around the world with a radish lamp and hide in it when he met human beings. Gradually, Jack's behavior was forgiven by people, and children followed suit on Halloween. The ancient radish lantern has evolved to this day, and it is a pumpkin lantern made of pumpkins. It is said that shortly after the Irish arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were superior to radishes in source and carving, so pumpkins became Halloween pets.
