🎃👻 Did you know jack-o’-lanterns have Irish roots? 🇮🇪
Before pumpkins became the Halloween decoration we know today, people in Ireland carved large turnips and potatoes into lanterns! When the tradition made its way to America, pumpkins became the go-to canvas thanks to their larger size and easier-to-carve texture.
So, the next time you carve a pumpkin, you can thank a little Irish Halloween history! 🎃🍀
