] I'L^~ For centuries, Irish folklore told of a trickster
!
~f"~lIIU i'~v
.~.~'.~,~ named Jack who deceives the devil to avoid
i~'~{~, ['U] going to hell. But Jack is denied entry into
[ heaven also, and is forced to roam the earth as a
] | ¢/ spirit, carrying a hollowed-out turnip lit with a
single burning coal. Folks called him "Jack of
the Lantern;' and carved their own turnips,
potatoes or beets into scary faces to ward
II off such wandering souls or evil creatures.
The custom came to America with the
i Irish, who soon found that pumpkins, a
/ 1 native flint, made perfect jack-o -lanterns.
