On the threshold of Halloween. Our video tutorial will teach you how to make the most popular decoration for this holiday, called Jack Lantern.
Do you know why a pumpkin with a candle inside? She symbolizes a lost cursed soul. Here is how it was. Once upon a time there was a drunkard named Jack and nicknamed the Miser. One day, on the eve of All Saints' Day, he drank his last money in a bar. The devil also looked in there. On this day, he could walk freely among the living.
For another mug of ale, Jack was ready to do anything, even sell his soul to the devil. They made a deal: the devil turned into a coin, and Jack, without further ado, threw the money into his pocket, where the cross lay.
The devil was trapped - "in Christ's bosom." He writhed in agony and begged for mercy. Then Jack took from him a promise that he would live for many more years and his soul would not go to hell. The devil agreed. When the time came for Jack to leave this world, his soul fell into purgatory, but he was not allowed into heaven and the road to hell was closed. But the devil gave Jack hellfire so that he could travel on earth and in pitch darkness.
Here's a legend. In fact, Jack's lamps were first used in the UK and were made from rutabagas and turnips. It was believed that this would help drive away evil spirits from the house. When Halloween took root in the United States, lamps began to be made from cheaper and more affordable pumpkin.
