Why is Pumpkin so Popular during Halloween?

As one of the most iconic symbols during Halloween, the pumpkin holds a long history. Rooted in centuries ago in Ireland folklore about Stingy Jack. It is the name of a man who tricked the Devil, and the Devil fell for the trick. Later, when Stingy Jack died, the Devil rejected him from Hell and threw him to the Earth to wander for eternity. What accompanies Stingy Jack on his walk is a carved turnip lit by a burning coal.

To scare away the wandering Stingy Jack, Irish and Scottish people carved scary faces on turnips or potatoes. Later, when the new generations immigrated to the land of America, they still brought this tradition. However, in the new land, they found that pumpkins were a better option for making a lantern because of their bigger size and it is easier to shape.
