Still remember why pumpkin became a Halloween symbol?

The legend originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket. The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree carving a sign of the cross into the tree’s bark. Should Jack die, Devil would not claim his soul. In Ireland and Scotland, people began to make their own versions of Jack’s lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and placing them into windows
