K3 Decoration

A Halloween lantern, most commonly known as a jack-o'-lantern, is a carved pumpkin, turnip, or other vegetable with a light source inside, often a candle or electric light. Historically, these were used to ward off evil spirits, particularly during the Celtic festival of Samhain, which Halloween is derived from. Today, they are a popular symbol of Halloween, representing creativity, community, and the playful spirit of the holiday. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Carving:Jack-o'-lanterns are typically created by carving a design, often a face, into the side of a pumpkin. 
• Light Source:A candle or electric light is placed inside the hollowed-out pumpkin to illuminate the carved design. 
• Historical Significance:The tradition of carving faces into vegetables for light is believed to have originated in Ireland, where turnips were commonly used before pumpkins were adopted. 
• Modern Symbol:In modern times, jack-o'-lanterns are a popular decoration for Halloween, symbolizing the holiday's spooky and playful atmosphere.
