Halloween Coloring Page : Really scary pumpkin

The pumpkin, the emblematic fruit of autumn, has become a veritable symbol of the Halloween holiday. Its connection with this celebration has its origins in ancient Celtic traditions, notably that of Jack-o'-lantern, an Irish legend that tells the story of a man condemned to wander around with a lantern carved out of a turnip. Arriving in America, immigrants discovered the pumpkin, more abundant and easy to carve, and adopted it to create spooky lanterns. Today, the illuminated pumpkin, often adorned with grimacing faces, is the emblem of Halloween, symbolizing both the creativity and the festive spirit of this mystical night.
