One
of the fun things on Halloween is pumpkin carving. The tradition of
carving a pumpkin started in Scotland and Ireland where it was
traditionally carved from a turnip, and in England where a beet was
used.The monstrous faces carved on the pumpkin represents the spirits or
souls of the unknown. Like a mask, you see only what is outside, but
not actually what is behind it. The connection between what we see and
what we don't see is a blur, and this represents the unknown world.
