How to make the most original pumpkin carving

The tradition of carving Halloween pumpkins stems from an Irish story. According to it, there was a boy called Jack who liked to trick everyone around him and even managed to trick the devil. But when he died, they did not accept him neither to heaven nor to hell for what he did. Thus, Jack remained in the dark, and all that he got was a hollowed-out turnip with a glimmering ember so that he could find his path.

The turnip was later replaced with a pumpkin, which was called “jack-o’-lantern” (Jack’s flashlight). Today the pumpkin is carved in the most different ways. It can be creepy or smiling. It can serve as a lantern as in the legend or as a decoration element. Below you can find some pictures and video from which you can get inspired.
