History Of The Jack-‘o-Lantern…

Good Morning!
Since today is Halloween I’ll dispense with mortgage stuff for today.
…Instead, here is the history of the Jack-‘o-lantern.
According to the History Channel…
The legend is of a man named Jack. Jack invited the devil for a drink.
Jack did not want to pay for his drink, so he made a deal with the devil.
The devil turned himself into coins, but instead of paying for the drink, Jack kept the coins.
Later freeing the devil, he promised to change him back if he did not steal his soul.
Upon his own death, God would not let Jack into heaven because of his past and the
devil would not let him into hell.
Instead, the devil gave Jack a piece of coal, which Jack placed into a turnip. The legend goes that Jack used the turnip and coal to
light his way as he looked for a final resting place. The original jack-’o-lanterns in Ireland were carved out of turnips or potatoes.
Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Thanks for reading!
