This Halloween season we have talked about everything about Halloween; costume ideas, recipes, crafting ideas and even must-have apps but we missed out on one great Halloween ritual, Jack-o'-Lanterns.

Halloween is nothing without a jack-o'-lantern. But the irony is that not much people are aware about the symbolism of it for them its just a carved pumpkin placed on the doorstep or porches of houses on Halloween.

The tradition of decorating houses by a jack-o'-lantern is based on an Irish folktale.
