Jack o‘ Lantern [d??k?u,l?nt?n]的传统来自于一个民间传说，一个名叫Jack的人戏弄了恶魔，之后就不得不提着一盏灯在地球上流浪。Jack o Lantern是用蜡烛插在中间挖空且雕刻成脸形的的南瓜做成的。 传说爱尔兰有一个名叫 Stingy Jack 的男子，有一天邀请魔鬼喝酒，因为喝完后没钱付帐，他就说服恶魔变成六便士来付酒钱，可是Jack并没有拿它来付钱，反而用一条银纸把恶魔镇住，让它出不来。后来恶魔答应Jack一整年都不吓他，杰克才放魔鬼出来。可是一年还没过完，Jack就去世了。 　　 Jack 死后，因为他非常吝啬，天堂不收他；又因为他戏弄恶魔，所以地狱也不留他。无处可归的他，最后只好不停的走着，并提着白萝卜，里面放着魔鬼给他的一小块灰烬来照亮路面，好让它烧久一点。 Jack-o-lantern A jack-o-lantern (sometimes also spelled Jack OLantern) is typically a carved pumpkin.
