200 words about the history of the jack-o-lantern

It is believed that the history of the jack o lantern initially started in Ireland around the 19th century.The first Jack O Lantern was said not to be a pumpkin because they didn't have any pumpkins in Ireland. So they used turnips or even potatoes. The people would place the lanterns on their doorways, after they would carve the vegetables. People carved scary faces on the vegetables to scare evil spirits. But first they would cut the top off to form a lid, and took out whatever was inside. This tradition was used on Halloween and continued as Irish immigrants moved to America, bringing along their festivity. And this tradition was passed down to all parts of the world and is used still to this day. Later in time though, we started using pumpkins, but there are probably still people out there in different parts of the world that use turnips or potatoes. (Sorry if this isn't the full two hundred words as you asked, but I hope this helps you with your assignment. I kind of did a little history myself so you may be familiar with a lot of this information. I would appreciate it if you would give me some feedback telling me how I did so I can better my future answers on . Have a wonderful day/evening :)

pls mark as brainliest

though both had similar roots, they both took these similar bases & formed it into their own way. both the byzantine empire and ancient roman have similar aspects, but each one made it unique. both the byzantine empire and ancient romans had roman influences which affected their culture
