Halloween Fact

Did you know that the first Jack O' Lanterns were actually made from turnips? People have been making Jack O' Lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed "Stingy Jack."

According to legend, Stingy Jack tricked the Devil on several occasions. After Jack died many years later, God would not allow him into heaven. The Devil, upset by the tricks Jack had played on him, would not allow Jack into Hell.

He sent Jack to walk the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with it ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as "Jack of the Lantern," and then, simply "Jack O'Lantern."
