History of America's Jack-o'-Lantern
Early Irish immigrants brought tradition of making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween. Jack from Irish folklore was a blacksmith who tricked the devil but when he died, he was denied into both heaven and hell. After the devil turned him away, he gave Jack a burning ember and Jack hollowed out a turnip to carry the ember light. Irish immigrants remember this story by carving scary faces on turnips and inserting a burning piece of coal inside. When the Irish immigrated to America they found that pumpkins were more available and made better jack-o'-lanterns than turnips! Eventually candles replaced burning coals. Today you might use LED lights, oil or tea candles.
History of the lantern form:
In Japan a to¯ro¯ (lantern) is a traditional lantern made of stone, wood, or metal. Like many other elements of Japanese traditional architecture, it originated in China. In Japan, to¯ro¯ were originally used only in Buddhist temples, where they lined and illuminated paths and lighted lanterns were then considered an offering.
