Jack-o'-lantern
A carved pumpkin lantern associated with Halloween. A traditional icon used to light up and decorate during spooky celebrations.
The jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin lantern that has become an iconic symbol of Halloween. Traditionally, a pumpkin's interior is hollowed out, and a face is carved into its surface before placing a candle or light inside to illuminate it. This practice is rooted in Irish folklore where lanterns were believed to ward off evil spirits. Today, jack-o'-lanterns are a staple decoration at harvest festivals, Halloween parties, and front porches around the world. The warm glow of the candle inside the orange pumpkin creates an eerie yet festive atmosphere. They are popular among both children and adults as a fun and creative craft project.
