Oct. 30, 2005 - Best Wishes on Halloween - Carve Your Own Jack O' Lantern

Is it any wonder with a name like Jack O' Lantern that it is the Irish who gave us the carved pumpkin? O'Brien, O'Shaunessy, O'Doyle, O'Lantern.... O' means "of" as in son of. "Mc" also means of as in "son of." Son of Cabe? Caba is hood, cape or cloak? I believe they were soldiers, mercenaries.

I have read in Ireland they carved gourds, squashes and turnips for Halloween.

Click on the Jack O' Lantern and use your mouse to carve a face. Then click on Done!
