Have you ever wondered why pumpkins are used for decorations during Halloween? Halloween in some countries like Ireland marks the transition from summer to winter and is known as the Samhain festival. During this festival, people would light large bonfires to ward off evil spirits believed to be lurking in the shadows. They carved scary faces into hollowed-out turnips and placed them near windows, streets, and roads to guide travelers and invite good spirits. Later, pumpkins became the preferred choice due to their availability and affordability. Explore and download creative pumpkin decorating ideas for Halloween with Pixelflit.
