My first proposal is about the typical Jack O'Lantern. You must know that the carved pumpkin known as Jack O'Lantern is one of the most famous symbols of Halloween, but... What is the origin of this type of lantern? Why is it called Jack? Originally, another vegetable was used by Irish to make lantern, which vegetable?

Hi!
Their origins throughout Ireland and Britain there is the ancient tradition of carving lanterns from vegetables, particularly of certain varieties of turnips and remolachas.But was not until 1837 that the term jack-o'-lantern was used for the lanterns made with plants, beginning to associate them specifically to Halloween.
And Jack is called due to an ancient legend that Stingy Jack, a lazy but shrewd farmer who used a cross to trap the Devil. One version says that Jack tricked the Devil up making an apple tree, then quickly placed crosses around or carved a cross into the trunk so the Devil could not come down.

Hello!!
Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31.
It originated in Ireland and Britain, with roots in the Celtic pagan festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration, but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's Great Famine of the 1840s.
The day is often associated with orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, reading scary stories, and watching horror films.
hello!! this is what I've found.
Throughout Ireland and Britain there is the ancient tradition of carving lanterns from vegetables, particularly of certain varieties of turnips and beets. But it was not until 1837 that the term jack-o'-lantern was used for the lanterns made from vegetables, beginning to associate them specifically from Halloween 1866. Yet this connection between the jack-o'-lantern and Halloween did not originate in Ireland or Britain but in America.

Hallowen is the big festival of Irland and Britain...
There is the ancient tradition of carving lanterns from vegetables, particularly of certain varieties of turnips and beets.
The Druids were taking with them a big turnip, which they had hollowed in the interior, with a face carved in the front.
But the turnips were not so big, so they replaced them by gourds

Hello teacher, more information of halloween:
Halloween or Hallowe'en (IPA [ha.lo.wi ː n]) or Halloween is a celebration of Celtic culture from taking place mainly in the U.S. on the night of Oct. 31. Children dress up for the occasion and walk through the streets begging for candy from door to door. After knocking the children pronounce the phrase "Trick or Treating", "Sweet or trick" or "trick-or" (from the English phrase trick or treat). If adults give them candy, money or any other type of reward, is interpreted to have accepted the deal. If instead they refuse, the boys spend a little joke, the most common throw eggs or shaving foam against the door.
The word Halloween is a derivation of the English expression All Hallow's Eve (Eve of Day of the Saints). It was celebrated in Anglo-Saxon countries, mainly in Canada, USA, Ireland and the UK. But now celebrated in almost all Western countries with more or less present.
Its origins date back to the Celts, 1, and the party was exported to the U.S. by Irish immigrants especially in the nineteenth century, more or less in 1846. The expansive force of U.S. culture. UU. Halloween has made it popular in other countries. On Halloween, in modern times is considered an American holiday.
The history of Halloween goes back over 2,500 years ago when Celtic finished the year in late summer, precisely on 31 October in our calendar. The cattle were brought from the pastures to the stables for the winter. That last day, it was assumed that the spirits could leave the cemetery and take over the bodies of living to rise again. To avoid this, the Celtic villages and houses littered the "decorated" with bones, skulls and other unpleasant things, so that the dead are guided by these to reach a better place. Hence the tradition of decorating houses with sinister motives in the current eve of All Saints and also the costumes.
The walk-or-treating children likely link with the Dutch tradition of the Feast of St. Martin.
Hi teacher...
There is the ancient tradition of carving lanterns from vegetables, particularly of some varieties of turnips and beets But the term jack-o'-lantern was later applied to the lamps made with vegetables, beginning to associate them specifically to Halloween. Yet this connection between the jack-o'-lantern and Halloween did not originate in Ireland or Britain but in America.
The name Jack-o'-lantern is because there is an old tale that speaks of Stingy Jack, a lazy but shrewd farmer who used a cross to trap the Devil. One version says that Jack tricked the Devil up making an apple tree, then quickly placed crosses around or carved a cross into the trunk so the Devil could not come down.

Hi teacher!!
The Celts that lived in what is now Great Britain and Northern France would carry a lantern when they walked on the eve of October 31. These lanterns were carved out of big turnips and the lights were believed to keep the evil spirits away. Children would carve faces in the turnips. These carved turnips were called "jack-o-lanterns.
Legends have it that the "jack-o-lantern" got its name from a stingy and mean old man, named Jack, who when he died was too mean to get into heaven. When Jack went to hell he was meet by the Devil who gave him a piece of burning coal and sent him away. Jack placed the burning coal in a turnip to use as a lantern to light his way. The legends claim that Jack is still walking with the lantern looking for a place to stay.
When the early settlers came to America they found the big round orange pumpkin. Being larger and much more colorful than turnips, the pumpkin made great "jack-o-lanterns". Eventually the pumpkin would replace the turnip.
As the settlers spread across America they took their Halloween celebrations with them. The custom of the "jack-o-lantern" would travel with them. Eventually the Pumpkin would become the most widely
