Halloween Pumpkin Lantern

Halloween pumpkin, London, United Kingdom. Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve, or All Saints Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31st October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints hallows, martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns is a popular Halloween tradition that originated hundreds of years ago in Ireland. Back then, however, jack-o-lanterns were made out of turnips or potatoes; it wasnt until Irish immigrants arrived in America and discovered the pumpkin that a new Halloween ritual was born.
