Pumpkin Head

The custom of carving pumpkins comes from Ireland where originally the Celts and Druids carved large turnips into hollow glowing faces. The custom was allowed to continue at Halloween by the Catholic Church and later the Irish immigrants to America found the pumpkin to be even more perfectly suited to the task and the jack-o-lantern was then born.
