The legend Halloween facts about jack-o'-lanterns draws

The birthplace of Halloween is Ireland

The legend of jack-o’-lanterns draws its inspiration from a captivating Irish folktale. The History Channel reveals the tale of Stingy Jack, a man who outwitted the devil and, as a consequence, was condemned to roam the Earth with only a burning coal placed inside a hollowed turnip to illuminate his path. The Irish affectionately referred to him as “Jack of the Lantern,” which eventually evolved into the beloved moniker, “Jack o’Lantern.”
