Halloween lanterns

Halloween lanterns, commonly known as Jack-o'-lanterns, are carved or decorated pumpkins used to celebrate the holiday. Traditionally, a face or spooky design is cut into a pumpkin’s rind, and a candle or light is placed inside to illuminate the design at night. This practice originated in Ireland, where turnips or beets were used before pumpkins became popular in the United States. Jack-o'-lanterns serve as festive decorations and symbols of Halloween, embodying themes of spookiness and protection by warding off evil spirits. Their glowing appearance creates a fun, eerie atmosphere during Halloween festivities.
