Long before carving pumpkins, turnips were carved in Ireland. In Irish folklore, the ghostly Jack O’Lantern roams the earth for eternity with a burning coal inside a turnip. The festival Samhain, meaning summer’s end in Irish, marked the season’s transition where spirits could roam freely between realms. Scary masks, called ‘Fiddle Faces’, were worn to keep ghosts away and trick neighbours. Anybody wearing these masks, were called ‘Guisers’. Objects shown date to the early 20th Century and can b

⬇️ 🎃 Jack-o’-lanterns were originally carved from turnips (and other root vegetables like potatoes or rutabagas) in Ireland and Scotland. Irish immigrants brought the tradition to the United States, but found that pumpkins were larger and easier to carve, leading to the modern custom. 🎃 Early 20th-century Halloween was known for widespread pranking and vandalism (sometimes called “Mischief Night”) rather than just innocent fun.

This is how I carved my turnip for Halloween in the 80’s. Peeled and black. Eyes for contrast, no candles.
