Jack-o-lanterns are made from carved pumpkins. This tradtion originally began in Europe, particularly Ireland, where they carved other root vegetbales, like turnips. In Amerâ¦ica, the tradition switched over to pumpkins because they were larger and easier to carve and more native to growing in the United States.
People have been making jack-oâ-lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed âStingy Jack.â According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didnât want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks.
