The legend of Halloween
Halloween is here... and many people celebrate it with a candle inside a pumpkin. However, do you know the origin of this tradition??
The legend of Jack Stingy has an Irish celta origin... Halloween celebration (words which comes from All Hallows' Evening), is a pagan party. It was believed that there was a night where there were no bonderies between the world of the alive and dead people. That night they were walking together in the streets, and the dead souls were manifested with little lights in the graveyards.
THE BLACKSMITH who tried to lie to the devil Stingy Jack was a blacksmith. One night he went to have a drink with the devil. After a while, Jack didn't want to pay so he makes the Devil to go up in a tree to pick up some apples, when the devil threw them down, Jack drew a Cross in the tree so the devil couldn't go down.
After a while, he let the devil go with the promise he would never take his soul to hell.
Time passed and when Jack died, Saint Peter didn't let him come into the heaven for his so many sins. The Jack's soul then went to the hell but the Devil, as he had promised, he didn't let him come in either. Jack was condemned to walk in the limb forever.
As Jack couldn't see any light in his way, the Devil threw an ember from hell to provide him some light. As the ember was burning, Jack put it inside one turnip he found. From that moment, his spirit travels around the world as Jack O'lanterm.
During the XVII century, the Irish and Scotish celebrated Halloween burning some lights in their houses to get the spirits away. They used turnips, beets or potatoes with scary faces. When the tradition got to the United States in the XIX, the candels were used in pumkins are they were more often in the States and were easiest to carve. Since then, the tradition not only didn't stop but it was spread to all the world.
