The Halloween tradition of pumpkin carving has its origins in a chilling Irish folk story centered around a character named Stingy Jack.

Jack O Lanterns

As time passed, this practice spread to Ireland and Scotland, where people began to carve menacing faces into root vegetables such as turnips and beets,


creating jack-o-lanterns (Pumpkin Carving) to ward off malevolent spirits.


When immigrants relocated to the United States, they brought this tradition with them, gradually transitioning to the use of pumpkins as their preferred canvas for these eerie carvings.


These pumpkins are not for eating purposes.
