This is a story about how a man named Jack, who loved to drink and play pranks, tricked the devil into sparing his soul, but ended up wandering between heaven and hell with a lantern made of a turnip. His lantern became a symbol of Halloween, a festival that originated from the ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain, when the boundary between the living and the dead was thin. The story also explains how Halloween evolved over time, incorporating traditions from Roman, Christian, and modern cultures, and becoming a global holiday of fun and excitement.#halloween #english
