firstThe origin and meaning of the pumpkin in Halloween

The Halloween pumpkin is also known as “Jack O’Lantern”from Irish folk tales, about a guy named Jack and a demon.

In one time Jack invited the devil to drink wine and tricked it, the demon pleaded and promised not to tease him or take his soul away when he died. However, when he died, because of his bad deeds, his soul was not allowed to go to heaven and had to wander everywhere. At this time, the demon took pity, so he took an empty pumpkin, lit a lamp, to light up Jack’s wandering path.

Since then, people have used a hollow pumpkin with a clever face carved with a light inside to make a symbol of Halloween, with the purpose of praying for the souls and for the two realms of yin and yang to reunite.
