How did Halloween come about?
Few people know that this celebration was not invented in America. The first to celebrate Halloween were the ancient Celts living in Scotland and Ireland. Among the peoples of the British Isles it was associated with the supernatural and was called “Samhain”.
After some time, actively emigrating settlers brought the holiday to the United States. Under the influence of other cultures, Halloween in America began to change and acquire new rituals. Thus, it is known for certain that the tradition of begging for sweets appeared only in the 16th century, and putting on role-playing costumes and decorating houses with pumpkins and candles began only at the beginning of the 20th century.
Decorations for the festive table
Pumpkin is an excellent material for carving. Small pumpkins are very malleable, so even a beginner can handle carving, but you will need a special tool.

The History of Jack-O-Lantern
The most famous and creepy Halloween attribute is a hollow pumpkin with an ominous grimace carved into it and placed inside candles. To be fair, it is worth noting that the ancient Celts used a completely different vegetable for this purpose, namely turnips. However, upon arriving on the shores of America, the settlers quickly replaced it with pumpkin, which is larger and easier to process.
So how did the tradition of creating ominous lamps begin? If we talk about the pagans, their motives remain unknown. The only legends that have survived to this day are that the Celts believed that a lantern left at the door on All Hallows' Eve protected the house from evil spirits and other evil spirits.
With the advent of Christianity, a legend appeared about the drunkard Jack, who managed to capture the Devil. In exchange for freedom, he did not take his soul to hell. However, the gates of heaven were also closed for the unlucky Jack. After death, his soul is forced to wander the earth, illuminating its path with a lamp made from an empty pumpkin and a smoldering coal from hell, which the devil gave Jack.
