11THE JACK-O-LANTERN
12THE JACK-O-LANTERN
According to an ancient Irish myth, Stingy Jack
sat down to have a drink with the devil. And just
like his name tells us, Stingy Jack didnt want
to pay for his drink. He convinced the devil to
turn himself into a coin that Jack would use to
pay for their drinks. But as soon as the devil
did so, Jack pocketed the coin! Jack kept a small
silver cross in that same pocket and the cross
kept the devil from changing back into his true
form. Jack struck a deal with the devil and freed
him under the condition that he would not trouble
Jack for one year and would not claim his soul if
he died. When the agreed upon year was up, the
devil returned, but Jack tricked him again. He
convinced the devil that he should climb into a
tree to pick a ripe piece of fruit. Jack carved a
sign of the cross into the trunk of the tree so
that the devil couldnt come down until he
promised Jack not to bother him for ten more
years.
Not long after, Jack died. Legend has it that
such an unsavory character could not be accepted
into heaven. Meanwhile, the devil, angered by the
tricks Jack had played on him and keeping his
word, would not claim his soul or allow Jack into
hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with
only a burning coal to light his path. Jack
carved out a turnip and put the coal in it so it
wouldnt burn his hands. According to the myth,
Jack has been roaming the Earth ever since,
carrying his turnip lantern. The Irish began to
refer to this ghostly figure as Jack of the
Lantern and then simply as Jack OLantern.
