Why We Make Jack-o'-Lanterns for Halloween

The tradition of carving jack-o'-lanterns out of pumpkins comes from an old Irish myth.

We are passionate and engaged storytellers with a mission to inform and inspire. LX News stories will focus on depth and context, the kind of stories that can make everyone feel connected and encouraged to shape the world around them.

Every story is local.

In another myth he actually used a flail to beat demons that tried to take his soul when he helped an angel and had his tree, toolbox, and chair cursed with whoever touching them to be stuck there until Jack releases them
