However, the tradition has its roots on the other side of the Atlantic, and originally, there were no pumpkins at all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Ireland and parts of Great Britain, there was a tradition of hollowing out root vegetables, especially turnips, carving faces into them, and placing a candle inside. These lanterns were eventually associated with Halloween and became known as Jack-o'-lanterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen many Irish people emigrated to North America in the 19th century, the traditions followed. Here, large orange pumpkins were found in abundance, and they were both larger and much easier to hollow out than the hard turnips.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pumpkin therefore took over the role, and the orange, glowing face gradually became one of the world's most recognizable symbols of Halloween.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat about the ghosts and the bats?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey don't fit in quite by accident, either.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHalloween has historical connections to ideas about death and the world of the dead. In the old Celtic Samhain tradition, often mentioned as one of the precursors to Halloween, there were concepts of a special transition period between summer and winter, where supernatural beings could come closer to the human world. Later, ideas about spirits and ghosts were mixed with the Christian All Saints' tide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bat fits in almost even more naturally. It is active in the dark, hides in gloomy places, and has been surrounded by myths and superstition for centuries. At the same time, there may be a quite practical connection, as large bonfires were part of old autumn celebrations. The bonfires attracted insects, and the insects attracted hunting bats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver time, bats, ghosts, and glowing pumpkins became part of the imagery that we today instantly associate with Halloween.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUnique Danish design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMotif with Halloween decorations featuring bats, pumpkins, and ghosts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on sturdy 300-gram paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable both with and without string\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA5 format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFigures must be cut out by the user\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as ornaments, hanging decorations, table decorations, and place cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe motifs are hand-painted, so the front and back may vary slightly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMissing the tools?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the fine details in papercraft, we recommend a sharp hobby knife and a good cutting mat.
