Mason: Blog Of The Day

The Irish made jack-o-lanterns to scare off evil spirits.  They also offer food to give to there favorite god on October 31st They believe the lad of the living connects with the land of the dead.  The reason we carve pumpkins is to scare off evil spirits.  There is a story of a man named Jack who played a trick on the devil and is wondering the earth. At Mexico on Ocotber 31 there is a holiday called the day of the dead.  In Ireland there is a game where you tie an apple to a tree and try to bite the apple.  And another game is where you put a card face down and put candy under it and someone picks a card and gets what was under it.  The largest pumpkin pie ever was back in 2005 and it was 2,020 pounds. There is no picture of it.
