  • They carve faces
  • They carve out the insides so they can light it to illuminate the face
  • “Modern Halloween comes from the Irish festival Samhain, an occasion that marked the passage from the summer harvest season to the dark of winter. Tradition dictated huge bonfires be built in fields, and it was believed that fairy spirits lurked in the shadows. To distract these spirits from settling into houses and farms, people would carve rudimentary faces into large turnips, and set candles inside. The turnip lanterns would rest along roadways and next to gates, to both light the way for travelers and caution any passing fairies against invading.”

For example, dressing up in costumes influences modern traditions. In the article Halloween History, it says “The practice of dressing up in costumes and begging door to door for treats on holidays goes back to the Middle Ages, and includes Christmas wassailing.” Dressing up on Halloween goes back to the Middle Ages, when poor kids would dress up and go door to door asking and begging for treats.

Trick or treating for Halloween is to scare away the dead. People dress up to scare away the dead. People carve pumpkins for Halloween. The cultural influence is that the faces that are carved into pumpkins scare away the devil. A long time ago they used potatoes.

    The holiday is thought to date to the Iron Age (around 800-600 B.C.), when the Celts and Gauls ruled parts of Great Britain and Northern France. October 31 marks the last day of the Celtic calendar, and for Celtic-folklore believers, Halloween was a day of celebration before winter, which brought the death of life and nature, and the harvest.

    People carve pumpkins and put lights in them to form Jack O' Lanterns. They usually carve faces specifically scary to ward off the evil ghost. Neighbors gather around houses and watch the pumpkins faces light up! Jack O' Lanterns are an annual tradition.  http://www.historycccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc.com/topics/halloween/jack-olantern-history]]>     2016-10-28 13:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/GabriellaHorak/tbi54nuqo5mg/wish/133887296     Gwen Weeks https://padlet.com/GabriellaHorak/tbi54nuqo5mg/wish/133887819 We called carved pumpkins Jack O Lanterns because of the ghost of Jack. Jack asked the devil to turn him into money so they could pay for drinks. The devil never turned him back into a man. After time Jack turned into a ghost.

The cultural tradition was an Irish myth called Stinging Jack to later turn into our modern tradition of a jack o lantern. In the text it says, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back. Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul. Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree’s bark so that the Devil could not come down until the Devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years. After Jake dies the legend continues about Stingy Jack. Now they say Jack roamed the Earth so jack o lanterns represent him. My answer relates to this evidence because my evidence shows you why we use jack o lanterns so and my claim tells you how that tradition influenced ours today.

    Places that are haunted are usually believed to be associated with emotion in the ghost’s past.  Also signs of haunting range from strange noises, lights, odors or breezes to the displacement of objects, bells that ring spontaneously or musical instruments that seem to play on their own.
    All about the pumpkin
    There are at least 500 seeds in a pumpkin.  One million pumpkin are grown each year.  Food and wine were mistaken for ghosts

    Since ancient times, ghost stories—tales of spirits who return from the dead to haunt the places they left behind—have figured prominently in the folklore of many cultures around the world. A rich subset of these tales involve historical figures ranging from queens and politicians to writers and gangsters, many of whom died early, violent or mysterious deaths.
