Halloween Eve originated from celebrations related to evil ghosts, so witches, ghosts, goblins and skeletons on broomsticks are all hallmarks of Halloween. Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also common hallmarks of Halloween. At first, these animals felt very scary because it was thought that these animals could communicate with the ghosts of the dead. The black cat is also a symbol of Halloween, and it also has a certain religious origin. It is believed that black cats can be reincarnated and have superpowers to predict the future. In the Middle Ages, people thought that a witch could become a black cat, so when people saw a black cat, they thought it was a witch posing as a witch. These markers are a common choice for Halloween costumes, and they are also very commonly used decorations on greeting cards or shop windows.
The story of pumpkin carving empty lantern.
Originated from ancient Ireland. The story is about a kid named JACK who loves pranks. One day after Jack died, he couldn’t go to heaven because of bad things, so he went to hell. But in hell, he was stubborn and fooled the devil into the tree. Then he carved a cross on the stump, threatening the devil so that he did not dare to come down, and then JACK made a deal with the devil for three chapters, let the devil promise to cast the spell so that JACK would never Let him descend the tree on the condition of crime. The hellmaster was very angry when he found out, and drove Jack out. He only wandered around the world with a carrot lamp, and hid when he encountered humans. Gradually, JACK’s behavior was forgiven by people, and children followed suit on Halloween. The ancient radish lamp has evolved to today, and it is Jack-O-Lantern made of pumpkins. It is said that not long after the Irish arrived in the United States, they discovered that pumpkins are better than carrots in terms of source and carving, so pumpkins became Halloween pets.
Jack-O’-Lantern (Jack-O’-Lantern or Jack-of-the-Lantern, the former is more common and is an abbreviation of the latter) is a symbol to celebrate Halloween. There are many versions of the origin of the English name “Jack-O’-Lantern” of jack-o-lanterns. The most widely spread version comes from an Irish folklore in the 18th century. Legend has it that there is a man named Jack (in the 17th century in England, people usually refer to a man who does not know his name as “Jack”) who is very stingy, and has the habit of pranking and drinking, because he used to play tricks on the devil. Twice, so when Jack died, he found that he himself could neither enter heaven nor hell, but could only stay between the two forever. Out of pity, the devil gave Jack a little coal. Jack used the little coal the devil gave him to light the carrot lantern (the pumpkin lantern was mostly carved with carrots at first). He could only carry his carrot lantern and wander around forever. Nowadays, in order to scare away the wandering spirits on the eve of Halloween, people usually use turnips, beets or potatoes to carve scary faces to represent Jack holding a lantern. This is the origin of the pumpkin lantern.
