Jack o lantern

 Here is a Irish folklore associated with the Halloween jack-o- lantern symbol. "On his way home from a night of drinking, Jack encountered the devil & managed to trick it into climbing into a 🌲. A quick thinking Jack then etches the sign of the cross into the bark, thus trapping the devil . Jack then strikes a bargain that Satan can never claim his soul. After a life of sin & drink Jack is refused entry to heaven when he dies, keeping his promise the devil refused to let Jack into hell & throws him a live coal straight from the fires of hell. It was a cold night ,so Jack places the coal in a hallowed out turnip, to stop it from going out, since which time Jack & his lantern, have been roaming looking for a place to rest.. blessings GG 💜🙏
