This story of the Geico lantern.
00:00:00
Pumpkins with glowless faces and illuminated candles are a sure sign of the Halloween season.
00:00:03
The practice of decorating Jack-o'-lanterns originates in Ireland,
00:00:10
where lads tarpins and potatoes serve as early cabins.
00:00:14
In fact, the name Jack-o'-lantern comes from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack.
00:00:19
Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America home of the pumpkin
00:00:27
and it became an integral part of Halloween festivities
00:00:34
People have been making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween for centuries
00:00:39
The practice originated from an Irish mythological man nicknamed Stingy Jack
00:00:44
According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the devil to have a dream with him
00:00:50
true to his name stingy jack didn't want to pay for his drink so he convinced the devil to turn
00:00:57
himself into a coin that jack could use to buy their drinks once the devil did so jack decided
00:01:05
to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross which prevented the devil
00:01:13
from changing back into his original form.
00:01:21
Jack eventually freed the devil under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year
00:01:25
and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul.
00:01:31
The next year, Jack again tricked the devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit.
00:01:35
While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree's bark
00:01:41
so that the devil could not come down until the devil promised Jack.
00:01:45
not to bother him for ten more years.
00:01:51
Soon after, Jack died.
00:01:54
As the legend goes,
00:01:56
God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven.
00:01:58
The devil, upset by the trick he had played on him
00:02:01
and can't be his war not to claim his soul,
00:02:04
would not allow Jack into hell.
00:02:07
She sent Jack off into the dark night
00:02:09
with only a burning coal to light his way.
00:02:11
Jack put the coal into a cavern and turned it
00:02:15
and has been roaming the earth with ever since.
00:02:17
The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as Jakob the Lantern, and then simply Jako Lantern.
00:02:20
In Ireland's Scotland, people began to make their own versions of Jako Lanterns,
00:02:28
by craving scary faces into turnips or potatoes,
00:02:36
and placing them into windows or knee doors
00:02:40
to frighten away Stinky Jack and other wandering evil spirits.
00:02:45
In England, large bits are used.
00:02:51
Immigrants from these countries brought the Jack O'Lantern tradition with them
00:02:55
when they came to the United States.
00:03:01
They soon found out that pumpkins, a fruit native to America,
00:03:05
Make the perfect duck or lanterns.
