Why do you wear a pumpkin mask on Halloween?

The custom of wearing pumpkin masks on Halloween comes from the fact that pumpkins are the darling of Halloween.

In the ancient Irish legend, this small candle was placed in a hollowed-out radish, which was called "pumpkin lantern", while the ancient radish lantern evolved to today, and it was made of pumpkin lanterns. It is said that shortly after the Irish arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were better than radishes in origin and carving, so pumpkins became the darling of Halloween.
