"Jack"-o-lantern


In celebration of the Last harvest and the end of the Celtic year we have carved our own pumpkin and named him Jack. Maybe it will help keep away malevolent spirits.
Traditionally the Celts carved turnips or gourds. When the early Irish settlers came to the western world they discovered the pumpkin, which is actually indigenous to the western hemisphere, to be much easier to carve.
