Halloween
Posted by Wohnreich on
The festival on the night of October 31st to November 1st. " Halloween "
We owe the custom of putting up pumpkins for Halloween to an old legend.
A villain named Jack Oldfield caught the devil through a trick. Jack demanded that the devil not get in his way again. Because of this act, Jack did not go to heaven or hell after his death. The devil, however, took pity on the dead man and gave him a turnip and a glowing coal so that he could move through the darkness.
The origin of the illuminated pumpkins was therefore an illuminated turnip.
Well, we have also carved pumpkins with faces to keep away the good spirits that might meet us this evening in the forest at the campfire... 9 children, however, still don't know about their good fortune...
