Jack-o’-Lantern on a Townhouse Porch
Outside a classic city townhouse, a large carved pumpkin sits on the front porch. Next to it rest a hand-held lantern and a bucket intended for gathering Halloween sweets during evening trick-or-treating.
The Origins of Carved Pumpkins
Turning root vegetables and pumpkins into glowing lanterns originated from Irish folklore traditions brought to North America. People originally carved turnips or beets to ward off wandering spirits before discovering that native pumpkins were larger and easier to hollow out.
