Jack-O-Lantern is a symbol of the Halloween celebration and the festivities that date back to Celtic times and the rituals they held. Both the name of a carved pumpkin and the tradition to carve Jack-O-Lanterns are rooted in Irish lore and date back hundreds of years. In the mid-1800s children carved hollowed-out vegetables to scare people. And an Irish legend tells us that the carved pumpkin got its name from a fellow named Stingy Jack who tricked the Devil and the Devil forced him to wander the planet with only an ember of hellfire for a light. Now people use pumpkins for Jack-O-Lantern as they are much easier to carve and more spacious for the candle. A Halloween custom progress bar for YouTube with Glowing Pumpkin Jack-o'-lantern.
